What's the best sealed cable system on the market today? I
used to buy Gore Cables but they seem to be out of
businesss now.

None are as good as well maintained conventional cables.
It's really not rocket science to keep them running smooth.

For those of us that don't particularly care to maintain our
bikes the sealed systems work out well. Granted my
environment is reasonably cable friendly (not to wet, not
too dusty), but I've been happily using the Avid system for
2 years and havn't touched a thing, still shifting smooth.
Previously I'd been doing some sort of work on my cables
every year and it was always overdue.

Some folks claim that the sealed systems seal in the dirt,
but that hasn't been my experience at all. I put a fair
amout of time in on my bike (easily 8 hours per week Apr-
Oct) but not all of it's on dirt and it hardly ever gets
wet, that could be the difference.

I have a set of sealed Dry Cables on my bike and they work
very well for me.
