I'm building a new Bike with 2015 SR. I've now tried Di2 twice and can't get over the noise of the motors. In the past I have had a lot of success with Nokon's and Campy - In my perception Braking was better and shifting was Crisper than standard Campy cable and if my memory is correct one of the first shots of SR 2015 on Campy's website had segmented housing so I'm guessing they have tried it or are working on it themselves.

Ignoring weight what are the best performing cables? Swift, Alligator (I've tried Bungarus and don't like how flimsy they are), Ashima, or Nokon?

Ideally it would a solution that works as good as Nokon that works with Campy and is lighter.

Any thoughts?

I won't need it for a few weeks anyways as the Frame is still being made (Argonaut) so no I don't - but I could have had it now - but it was with 170mm cranks unfortunately so I said No.
