best thing you can do is buy a piece of each cord at the next show and try them all out....what works well for one wont work for another.....if you like the diameter of the beal regate though i'd recommend you try out yales new offering in that size range.

Silver Streak? Does seem to have a certain similarity to Reigate!

I quite liked the 8mm marlow doublebraid when I used Hi-Vee. Cheap as chips and grips really well, recommended to me by Mr Bullman.
