New Groupset - Cable Question
Hi All,
I picked up a SRAM Force groupset in the Merlin Sale recently and it arrived with "naked" cables pre-attached to the shifters and no cable housing.
Not a huge issue but I just wanted some advice on the best course of action as I need new outers when I rebuild the Infinito for next summer.
The reason I ask is that I thought the SRAM cables were Gore and part of their excellent performance related to the quality of the cables AND outers so I am reluctant to use just any outers I can find - or does it not matter?
Other option is to fork out for the Gore/SRAM cable set with outers.
Your thoughts please

standard practice with sram not to provide the outers it seems.
anyhow, I use either the gore (just the outers and have the cables as spares) or Dure Ace cable outers (or set)0 -

Where did you read that?...
Order through Fudges Cycles and you'll get everything in the deal, other shops manipulate kit to make the target price.
I also responded to the OP in his other post.Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
I stand corrected. must just be my cheap deal seeking
It's just that I try to avoid your tagline (but rarely manage)0 -
I received no outer for my SRAM TT shifters or brakes. I used Jagwire L3 outers and it runs fine0
