I understand that, but when the LBS's start asking almost $10 for an innertube, and it's not even a special one (e.g. a thorn-resistant), then c'mon maaaan.


Anyway.


Any bike flippers have recommendations on doing shifting cable overhauls on the cheap? Should I just bag up some parts?

Housing --> http://www.ebikestop.com/jagwire_4mm...ack-CA4310.php

Good idea/bad idea? Are those compatible? Can I use that shift housing for non-10 speeds? I work on old bikes with 5- and 7-speed freewheels all the time.
