What are people doing with this?  Fitting some braided sleeve over it?  If so, which one fits tight?  If buying some braided cable somewhere, which one and where?

Thanks for any information.

 I have the MotionPro too, changed out cable cause the last time the shop did my tires they broke the keeper clip.

Search eBay found mine for under $30... Easy to install, looks great!... more bling..

Make sure you wipe the clear covering with sunblock from time to time to prevent it from browning.

Sun Block? This works? Water proof preferred I would suppose.

I had the Motion Pro Speedo Cable on my ACE T and it turned brown within 6 months.  Got the sunblock tip from the mechanic that writes the Tech section for Roadbike magazine.  I remember he said he has seen the clear cover on braided lines turn brown on bikes in the showroom near the window.
