New frame (mmmBop!) looks to need full outer cabling, which is fine, except I've never used it before so I'm not sure what the best options are. On my other bikes I always use XTR kits, but they're only any good for interrupted runs. Any recommendations?

+1 Jamie - also it works out v cheap. I got the XTR kit for the ferrules and rubber covers and bought 5 meters of SP41/42 and has lasted me (and my mates ๐Ÿ™„ ) ages ๐Ÿ™‚

Cool, cheers ๐Ÿ™‚ I think I have a few of the rubber nubbins kicking around anyway, so that should be grand

Your LBS should have a reel of outer and plenty inner cable - just buy a few metres to suit your needs.
