By 'cable sheath' I mean the thin plastic tube that is used where bare brake and gear cables run to stop them scratching the frame.
I'm building up a new frame that routes the cables along the top tube with stops at each end for the outer and bare cable between the stops.
Searched all the usual places and can't find anything anywhere.
Anybody got any ideas?
clarkes do a cable set with it in
[s]These?

Edit: My mistake.
What about just cutting a few lengths of regular outer into small sections?
An alternative would be 3 or 4 rubber grommets(sic) along the length of the exposed inner cable between the stops to stop the inner cable bouncing directly on the frame
no idea - mail me as i have some spare - not sure of the length though as i have not measured it but I do know exactly where it is having sorted the man cave this weekend
Its black and you can have it for free
Thanks for the offer Junkyard, I may take you up on that.
Although it seems that rig tubing, as used for sea fishing tackle would do the job (and is available in sexy colours as well), e.g. [url= http://www.uk-hooks.com/details.php?selected=705 ]http://www.uk-hooks.com/details.php?selected=705[/url]
A quick trip to the nearest fishing tackle shop is coming up.
Why not use heat shrink and long nosed ferrules?
get one of these kits and dirt proof your cables: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/transfil-gear-cable-waterproof-kit/
I know you lot are allergic to bike shops, but any good shop will have the stuff on a reel, it's usually called "straw". Same with donuts...
