Thinking about something a bit different from the usual black for a new build. I'm considering white, but extra points for pics with colours 😀
i looked everywhere for blue gear outers whilst i had the 'pig' couldn't find them anywhere!
pig stripped now anyway, roll on the 456 😉
Just white I'm afraid

anotherstan - you can get heatshrink tubing in blue.
CRC have blue option now also:

If you buy the Goodridge sealed gear cables from CRC, you get blue sleeve to go over the exposed inners, [b]anotherstan[/b]. Not much use on a 456 with a continuous run though, I guess, but it looks 'interesting' on my silver / black Anthem X with the carbon effect outers and blue inners showing.
Good idea with the heatshrink druidh, much cheaper than new cables too.
Cheapest option is BMX linear brake outer - about £8 a shot. Slightly thicker than gear outer so you'll need to use brake ferrules instead of gear ones but does the job just fine (and you'll have a spare brake cable for your bmx 😉 ) . . . and [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=1910 ]look at all the lovely colours[/url] 8)
Odyssey slate blue - perfect match for Hope gunsmoke . . .

MD...and it compreses during gear changing giving inconsistant shifting!
typical, all these blue options now that i don't want one 🙄
Standard spiral wound brake outer does Goz, but linear is the same as mtb gear outer, ie, compressionless housing.
