Source for bulk shift housing
Anyone have a source for bulk shift housing. I used to buy packs at REI but they don't sell it anymore.
I'm thinking Amazon but wanted some input.
Thanks.

Yes, lots of hits, some places I've heard of; some places I never heard of. Just want some recommendations on where people have had good experiences--price, shipping time, etc...
Not all places are the same.

I've been buying 25' rolls of Jagwire shift and brake housing from Amazon.

BTW, the optislick cable itself was cheapest on ebay.
If you have an FD, one of those sets with front and rear housing and cable may be economical. I don't have FD anymore, so that route wasn't for me.

I have bought 10 meter rolls of Jagwire housing from Universal Cycles:

They are online, but since one of their brick & mortar stores is local to me I can order online and pick up in-store. They have treated me well.

I did have one experience where I ordered the better grade stuff, and the supplier sent me the cheapest housing from Jagwire, but it was quickly remedied when I e-mailed them and explained the issue.
Niagara used to be good for stuff like this, but they're gone now. If you're not an actual bike shop, this is about the best you're gonna be able to do buying this stuff.
