A question for medium to long term reference as I do not intend to have to do this immediately....
Is replacing the cables with a Jagwire kit worth the days work to do it?
Is the brake and gear changing performance noticeably improved?
I have internally routed Ultegra6700.

    Took me less than an hour to fit them last week, but TBH they're no better (or worse) than bog standard Shimano cables.
    More problems but still living....

    It won't take that long.

    They come in pretty colours and it's handy to get everything you need for all 4 cables in one complete set.
    Performace wise, they're like other good cables.

    Just wait until the cables need replacing anyway and then do it. You may need new bar tape also. If you think it will take a while, and especially if you don't already have cable cutters? Just get your LBS to do it - would take them half an hour and probably only cost you a tenner - worth it just to have the neater bar tape fitment alone!
