Io DuPont llc Power Cordz 2007 Product Update

Did you know that Power Cordz are made from thousands of individual Zylon fibers, one of the strongest super-fibers known to man?  The fibers are covered with a slick outer Nylon coating for ultimate smoothness.  When manufactured, Power Cordz have a significantly higher tensile strength than steel but are only 25% the weight of comparable steel cables.  The high modulus of elasticity of the fibers means that they resist permanent deformation and stretching out much better than steel cables resulting in more consistent control and a longer working life.  Power Cordz are not steel so they do not rust or corrode.  All of this combined makes Power Cordz the best performing and most durable cables on the market.

 

NEW FOR 2007! - Campagnolo Compatible Brake Cordz

NEW FOR 2007! - Campagnolo Compatible (5mm/M5) Brake Clasp

NEW FOR 2007! - Nokon Compatible Liner

Here are some new products from Io DuPont llc that we will be releasing for 2007.

 

Campagnolo Compatible Brake Cordz

Campagnolo compatible Brake Cordz have been in development since late spring.  The expected demand for Campagnolo compatible Brake Cordz has been overwhelming.  We produced some Campagnolo compatible Brake Cordz prototypes this summer and completed successful independent laboratory strength and fatigue testing.  Campagnolo compatible Brake Cordz are now in production and will be available on November 1, 2006.

 

Campagnolo Compatible (5mm) Brake Clasp

As a result of testing, we have determined that our Shoulder Bolt Brake Clasp is the most secure way to connect Brake Cordz to a brake.  Our current Brake clasp works with brakes that use a traditional cable anchor bolt with 6mm threads, for example newer Shimano Road Brakes and many MTB brakes.  We have now developed a Brake Clasp for use with brakes that use a traditional cable anchor bolt with 5mm threads, for example Campagnolo brakes.  The Campagnolo compatible Brake clasp will be available on November 1, 2006.

 

Nokon Compatible Liner

Nokon Housing is very popular due to its ability to resist compression better than traditional housing.  Up until now, only Derailleur Cordz could be used with Nokon housing because the inside diameter of the Nokon liner was too small to accommodate Brake Cordz.  We receive many inquiries about using the Cordz with Nokon housing so we went to work to resolve this compatibility issue and developed a new liner that will work with Nokon.  Our Nokon compatible liner has a larger inside diameter accommodating both Derailleur Cordz and Brake Cordz.  Our Nokon compatible liner is also stiffer than the original Nokon liner which means that it will resist sagging better when used with Shimano shift levers (which routes the shift cables out the side of the lever instead of under the bar tape like Campagnolo).  The Nokon compatible liner will be available on November 1, 2006.
