I decided to get some new levers and cables and try to install them myself.
Which would you recomend out of these two?

Would I be able to use this cable cutter to cut the housing too?

Aesthetics aren't much of a concern and I was wondering if it would compress the housing really bad?
Where could one pick up an inespensive set of housing and cable?
Nashbar has this set for 4$

My lbs charges 1$-2$/ft, should I just measure and go that route?
Any other tools I would need? Is a cable stretcher/puller essential?
