That's strange, I changed all my cables to the Diamondback's my clutch cable was braided the full length.........

 

Thanks for the website. I am changing my cables as we speak and although I have the cables already I will be ordering the diamond back ignition wires. Those things are sick!

 

I think I actually like the idea of the half braided/half plastic clutch cable.

It seems like the plastic end would only be where the bike is prone to dirt, debris, etc., while the braided portion would be the only section that you really see.
