Anyone know where I can buy decent quality gear outer/housing for a reasonable price please? I have found some Shimano SP41 for less than £50, is that likely to be the best I’ll get?
Managed to pick up 100 gear cables for a very reasonable price but struggling with outer.

Now parker international are gone, has anyone stepped into their space?

Why don’t you open an account at Madison?

I’m not a bike shop! I do plenty of work on mates bikes, and get through a bit of this stuff, and for the prices it seems mad not to!
100 end caps for £4.60, 100 ferrules for £7.80 etc.
It’s stuff that I always go to the LBS for, and pay quite a lot more for.

Works fine for me on multiple bikes

Bike-discount.de has SP41 rolls and packs of cable ends. Make sure you get the ‘sealed’ type end caps, the non-sealed ones are rubbish.

Cheers STATO, the bike discount stuff is in my basket. I was just wondering if there was anything else out there. Is the SP41 regarded as pretty good? I quite like the Jagwire stuff (I can get that for £65, just not sure if it’s worth more).
The unsealed end caps are £0.08/unit, the sealed ones £0.21/unit! Just for that little plastic ring in the end?

I really like SP41 and the good jagwire stuff. The sealed ends are more expensive but do a good job IME, the ones with the tounge are great if you can use them. After many years of buying cheap kits as and when i needed them i splurged on the SP41 roll and it has proven well worthwhile and a lot cheaper overall.

tounge?

Sorry, over speedy typing as should be working. Tongue, should probably have said nose but its what ive always known them as.

These.

Right. I’ll get a few for my own bike I think. Thanks.
