Will give you some ghost shifts you don't want! These days - it's pretty cost effective to just get a complete kit from Jagwire - they have some great housing systems and in bulk 3m rolls, you get enough to do a whole bike.

There are quite a few items surrounding cables and housings, fully inclosed, the Gore cables, locations of cable bosses, rubbing against a frame (ugh). I'd like to read more peoples opinions on the above. I’d like to read more about weight differences, performance differences, environmental considerations… stuff like that.

I've always used Dri-Slide Bike Aid. Some people use Prolink or Triflow or something similar, but that seems like it would gunk up more quickly than a "dryer" lube. Any thoughts on lubing housing?
