I am tall. My bike is big. My aerobar extensions stick out far. I need a longer length of shift cable than what comes in the Dura-Ace shift cable kit.
The only thing I have found in bulk is Jagwire - which is cheap so I am guessing is also crap. Perhaps I am wrong. I have a Lyskey frame with all DA. I really don’t want to put any crap on this bike. Does anyone know where I can get some good shift cable in bulk or in a long length?
Housing? You should be able to go into any LBS and tell them how many feet you want and they’ll cut you a piece of their spool of housing.
For the actual cable, look for tandem bike length cable, there’s a DA version. And I think the jagwire stuff is probably fine quality. There is a HUGE markup on cables and housing.
Jagwire seems to be taking over the market. I’ve used it without problems, currently on two bikes and working fine.
Shimano housing is available in bulk if you look around, for example

Seriously, have you tried a bike shop? They will have what you need in any length you want.

Yes. I think I said in my original post - Jagwire in bulk at all the shops. I was hoping to find DA, which is what I have always used.
All the shops here just sell the DA in the kit with 2 600mm housing lengths.
Thanks, Doug.
