A "standard" rear inner wire is typically 2000mm or about 80". That seems to work for most folks, but if you have a tall frame, or longish housing loops from the handlebar to stem it's very possible that it won't reach.

Problem for you is that the next common size is 3,000mm, and they're not as common, and cost almost double.
