Your LBS should be able to sell you it off the roll in the workshop.
Its about £2.40 ish for an inner at the moment and £.50 ish a metre for the outer.
Or just buy some Gore ones.

re purplefunkymonkey link above
OUTER - described as can be used for brake or gear - ARE YOU SURE?????
parker international do workshop rolls for about 325
Dunno , I've not bought any but don't see why not.

2nd Parker's for SP41 [url= http://www.parker-international.co.uk/5084/Shimano-SP41-Outer-Casing-4mm-x-10m.html ]10 m for £24 thought it was cheaper(?)[/url]
iirc:
Spiral twist outer can compresses with gears - puts out indexing.
Longitudinal 'twist' gear cable, can split with brake cable pressures.
+ different sized inners.
Dunno , I've not bought any but don't see why not.
Purplefunkymonkey, take it you've not changed any cables before then? 😉
probikekit.com
Cycling weekly sell 5 packs of Clarks inners (2 brake, 2 gear) for £5.....
Even if you never use the brake cables, that's 50p each for gears
so do cycling weekly and parkers have websites...?
