You couldn't just say yes? I don't understand how you typing out 3 sentences referring someone to search is easier than just typing yes.

The brake inners will be lighter with the extra nipples cuts off.

greasypete- do you have any idea who the OP is?
Show some respect

Alright, everyone just chill out.

Y'all sound like a bunch of people getting cabin fever and not going outside because of the poor weather.

Get on your bikes, trainers, rollers, whatever and clear your minds. Please.

coming back on topic, are the mini i-links only available as shifter housings, or will they also work as brake housing? It's not clear from the links or the stuff I can find on the web?

Aren't those cables rather heavy?

ah..it's not that I didn't use the search function before asking the question, i have tried to search alligator campagnolo and stuff, but i can't find anyone using alligator cables with campy11 shifters. That's why i posted the question. Because jagwire shift housing is 4mm, the same as alligator's one, and the campy11 housing is 4.1mm. And from what I read, jagwire doesn't really work well with campy11, I was thinking if using alligator, would it be the same results?

Perhaps my question was so direct and short, and it sounded I did not search for the answer before asking, so sorry about that.

Any ideas when the brake versions will be available. I am running Nokon's now on all my bikes but have put in my order for the shifter set up but would like to keep the builds looking good with just one cable housing set up if possible.

Does anyone know the weight difference between half a meter of the I-Link Mini's VS. half a meter of Nokon's. It would be interesting to see the weight differences between the two or better yet between the standard I-Links, Mini's and Nokon's.

Reason I am asking is because I am only about 170g from being under 6000g with my SLC and trying to get my P2K down to around 15.25 - 15.5 lbs and these might help get me closer to my goals.

Here are the parts that were left over

Regular I links:


Mini I links


The cables are quite a hassle to install as opposed to the Nokons that came off the bike. For people interested to know: a nokon liner does not fit into the mini I links so you need to wait to use the minis with a brake inner cable. If you want to run them as brake cables you can always use a shift inner cable to bring you to a halt. (before screaming that that will not be possible try it first then post.) I do not know if the mini i links will stand up to that job though. they might split like the carbon nokons did when used for braking.

Thank you for the post. If I can ask, what brake cable housings are you running with this set up using the I-Ling Mini's for shifting?

Can someone point me to a source/purchase point for these iLink mini?

All I'm seeing on the net are the iLink regular.
