I did a full install last weekend, shaved about 90 grams from Mu shimano cables and housing. Install was pretty uneventful aside from the fact that I really wasn't sure which ferrules to use where, etc. it shifts/brakes no better or worse than the stock cables. The only thing that concerns me is bumping the housing out of place slightly, as the shape of the housing is maintained solely by tension on the cable. I had plenty left over from the install to maybe do 1 cable on another bike. Be careful not to lose the tiny lining in between links, as it's not really secured in any way.

I only did brake per the thread title, but with included cables and mini i-links, lost 80g over my Yokozuna and SRAM cables.

Performance has been excellent. Everything is super smooth with almost no drag.

I am having a hard time deciding what to do with my wife's bike. She may get a full set, but she only cares if it works or not. Hate to spend more money than I have to, but these seem to work very well...

Was browsing eBay USA and came across some Aican Ultralight cable sets. Not quite as light as the Superlights, but an attractive option for the budget minded. $69 shipped for both brake/shift kits.
