Trek Madone 6 Series (2010) Pearl White + Candy Red
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
What did you decide on the cables? The Ride-On cables got messed up during the install, and I'm running regular stainless (shop didn't have any 'fancy' cable sets). There is way too much drag (particularly on the rear brake) due to the internal cable routing on my Madone 6 (2010). I'm sure it would have been better with the Ride-On cables, but if I'm buying new I've read a lot of good things about Yokozuna. The biggest concern is I believe the housing is a different diameter, and isn't very flexible.
If you ended up going that route, let me know how it went and whether it helped.

I will be installing yokozuna cables this spring once I am able to ride outside a bit. The stock cables definetly feel rough. Certainly not as smooth as the Dura ace I had on my previous set up.

Now I'm no Trek fan that's for sure, but damn I like this bike!
Part of that is certainly the white bike love coming through...but the minimalist design, (what appears to be) excellent finish on the paint and the tone of red chosen has me super impressed.
Enjoy
(ride reports would be sweet too!)
