    Jagwire can be had from plenty of places and in a variety of colours too.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I just go to my LBS and ask them to cut me a length from the reel. Costs me a fraction of buying a set of which I will no doubt end up throwing a large portion away.

    You can buy 10 m lengths too if you want to do it yourself. To be honest, there are often big reductions on cable sets which makes bulk outer and individual cable buying about even on price.

    10m ? I could do an entire fleet with that. I would rather just pay £2 for the length I need + 10%
