One other thing: it would be prudent to go with stainless steel cables, they are not much more and will
have a longer life span from a rust POV. Shifter cables usually break in the shifters where the stress and
turning radius is small. Brake cables OTOH, being larger in diameter and not subject to tight radius turns
may last years if they don't rust. Coated cables, coated to be more slippery inside the housing, tend to
shed their coats over months to a yr or so. You may have to read closely whether coated is stainless
or not.
