Just bought XTR brake cable/housings off ebay for $9.95, have seen XTR shifter cables there for near same price- ca. $10-20.00. Invest $25.00 in some cutters to do shifter cable housings, can cut brake cable housings with snips if you grind the ends flat with a file/grinder. Invest an hour or two of your time to learn how to do the installation and readjust the brakes/shifters.
The next time you'll have the tools and the knowledge to do it (in half the time).
