These (sometimes very expensive) bikes are done this way because getting water in your lines and having it freeze there later is just terrible. | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 10:07 | comment | added | Vorac | @BenediktBauer, the housing. As a matter of fact, I have never seen this cable liners - google just spit this image and I used it. Why do the shifter cables have liner, but the brake cable not? | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 10:06 | comment | added | Benedikt Bauer | Just for clarification: is your question about the cable housing (black tubes at the upper edge of your image) or about the thin transparent liner around two of the three cables? To me it looks like the answers given so far refer more to the housing than to the liners. | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 9:48 | comment | added | Vorac | The focus of my question is towards mountain bikes, aimed to be used in the mud, and not of the lowest quality. | |
