Hi guys
I'm replacing my dura ace 9000 with etap. Just wondering if anyone has a positive or negative opinion on the SRAM brake cables. I have a matte black s works Tarmac. I was never mad about the colour of the dura ace outers vs the colour of my frame but it all functioned so well I didn't bother changing them. Now I have a blank canvas so to speak I'm wondering what my options are as I don't have massive experience of different brands of cables.
Sorry if this is a recurring topic!
New to SRAM red, should I keep or replace cables?

For shift cables where it's friction vs. return spring you have to think about cable, for brakes it doesn't matter much, plus SRAM cables are ok anyway.

I went from Sram Red 22 mechanical to eTap and replaced the brake cables with Jagwire Elite Link and the brakes feel much firmer. I also have a matte black bike.
