    Its often a little tricky than you may imaging. What bike are you taking them off and putting them on?

    Cables shouldn't be too expensive, and well worth checking out Parktools webby for further info.

    Cables £2 each.

    Cable end caps £1 for all.

    Gear service on both bikes around £15 each.

    Around £40 but depends on where you go.

    Its not hard to do though, have a look at park tools.

    Ive just changed the gear cables on my MTB. Cables totalled less than £10.
    Its not too difficult, I managed it and Ive got a paralysed hand.
