OK, I'm looking at buying one of the discounted mmmbop frames from CRC to transplant for my ageing s-works, I think that I've figured out all the parts I'll need to replace (different sized seatpost and headset, and will be going for a new BB too) but not sure how much outer cable I'll need to buy to do both front and rear mechs, so can anyone who runs full length outers give me a clue befor eI order way too much or not enough!
Doesn't really matter, as to get the best price on your cable you'll need to buy a 10m length... though if you're gunna buy it from your LBS (couple of meters off there reel) then they'll know how much you'll need from experience.
This probably isn't a helpful reply, but I ordered a Clarks gear cable set and had enough spare outer to do the poplock on my forks too. (I have an 18" mmmbop)

2m is more than enough, 1m not enough. I'd go for 2 🙂
measure it with a piece o string?
or the inner cable?
5 meters on eBay for around £5.
