Hi

I have purchased some Tiagra STIs. I think I'll need new cables too. Can someone advise if these are suitable and if so, do I need 2 packs or is one pack a pair?

Is there a cheaper/ better alternative?


Thanks

    If your shifters are new and boxed, they'll come with cables.

    ...and if they are not new and boxed then these cables will be fine. That one pack is enough for the whole bike and is not a bad price.

    They're second hand, shifters only.

    I'm dipping my toe into the world of road bikes by converting my Dad's bike which is effectively a flat bar road bike.

    It is a good price, but are you going for gold, Merida green or pink? :shock:

    If your tastes are less, erm, flamboyant, you could try here:
