Quite a few bargains on optislick kits and inner cables. Got a full set optislick front & rear, sp41 outer and ferrules £10.95

Hmm... do I take a punt on the dreaded 'polymer coated' Dura Ace road cables? No Optislick sets for road left ☹

Edit: actually am I being thick, is there any reason I couldn't use an MTB kit? Does it just come with longer cables?

I used to buy these but then worked out that for full-length routed, 1X bikes (i.e. pretty much every modern full sus) it's actually cheaper to buy 2 meters of SP41 outer (3-4 quid), an Optislick inner (3 quid) and a bag of ferrules (bag of 50 costs a couple of quid).

Sure you can still get that lot at those prices?
