colored housings

[fop1]

hey fella's, just wondering if anybody knows where i can get my hands on some colored gear cable housings, preferably jagwire from around the south east suburbs of melbourne? can't seem to find anyone that stocks this sort of stuff. Going to try streamline cycles in ferntree gully tomorrow.

you could do it yourself. Go to the hardware and get some heat shrinking tube. Slide it over and heat it up. Theres a good guide on pinkbike.

ill take a look, but id rather just buy some good quality housing.

It goes over your existing housing....

yea i understand that, i need some new housing anyway. i should have said that at the start.

i've used blue oddassy slicks as gear cable houseing on my dj bike and they seem to work fine. there also pretty long so they should fit right to a rear derailuer as well.

yea im gonna head down to jaycar to get some shrink wrap if i can't find any colored housings. still no one really answered my original question.

I believe they are available, but only in a very limited range of colours, and lengths....

Checked chain reaction?

Very expensive for some of them..

What you do is buy the Shrink Tube and some standard Shimano cables at your LBS. A cheaper alternative to buying Jagwire cables.
