Red Cable Housing
 
Who makes red cable housing, Just got my new ride (CAAD 10-4) and want to do a black and red kind of thing

I just put in an order for a Jagwire cable set in red. I will post a couple of pics when it comes in so you can see the color. I am hoping that it comes close to the red on my BMC.

so you have to change the whole cable out? you cant just swap out the colored "housing?" i was wanting to change my colors too.

Most used cables won't stay woven if you try to reinsert them into a new housing. Also, they can be deformed enough where they were clamped to the brake or derailleur that they either won't fit in a housing or they will damage the interior lining. In the end, it's a lot easier and probably cheaper to just replace both.

They have red cable for derailleurs also.

I got Jagwire with red housing for my new bike. And the housing color is actually pretty darn close to the red lettering and trim on the frame.

Your wheels came with too many spokes. And your stem is upside-down.

It does look like there's way more of 'em in the photo than there actually is - 32 per wheel.
