Bikes: About two dozen road, mountain, and tandem from 1940s to 1981.

I did not know that Jagwire makes a coiled housing. Honestly, "If it's after '82, I have not a clue". I usually keep my bikes in period-correct housing.

I rode a self-contained tour in the Canadian Rockies last year with Adventure Cycling. One of the guys was riding a stock Surley Long Haul Trucker. His "compressionless" shift cable housing pulled through the silly plastic end ferrule. I replaced it for him out of the leader's spare parts, and it pulled through again.
