Lined shifter housing needed

Does anyone have any 4mm lined shifter housing I could buy? I haven't been able to find it unless I buy 25 feet and I don't see how I would ever use that much.

I'm looking for about 6 feet, this is for a 1x11 shimano mtb shifter, which comes with the cable, but no housing. I have the ferrules for it.

I'd be very willing to send a few bucks through paypal for your trouble.

What's wrong with calling a Bike Shop near you and having them mail it to your Hollow.



Typical retail. $1.50 per foot.

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

If you are an Amazon Prime member here is the housing you need and it even comes with a spare cable for $7.50 delivered. The housing is 66" long so be sure that's enough.

I buy my shift and brake housing in 25" rolls and I'd be happy to send you what you need but I'm down to just enough shift housing to re-cable one bike.

Fortunately I haven't tossed the old RD shifter housing so I'm going to measure the housing and see if that is enough - it should give me a good idea of the length I will need. For my road bikes I usually buy the Campy brake/shift kits, but this mtb is a different animal. I'm using jagwire pro mtb brake cables/housings mainly for the compressionless housing. From everything I read it makes a big difference with mechanical disk brakes. This is my only bike with disk brakes.

Stopping is important (or slowing down, anyway). Shifting is a plus as well.

Your LBS will have bulk housing, probably Jagwire and will cut the length you need.
