Stirling Cycle repairs say:
You will be amazed what a difference something as simple as replacing your cables makes. If they haven't been changed for a while and you've been doing a lot of riding in all conditions, you probably haven't noticed the extent to which they have deteriorated, but replace them and you will get smoother, sharper, more reliable shifting which inspires confidence in your riding.
We believe this particular cable set is excellent, having fitted many to bikes coming through our workshop.

Complete gear cable set designed to suit the top-of-the-range XTR gears
Fitting new gears or completely overhauling your gear cabling couldn't be easier - everything you need in one pack
Includes 1.2 mm inner wires (2 x 2100mm), and grey 4 mm outer casing for a complete bike (2 x 600 mm, 2 x 300 mm, and 1 x 340 mm), and all end caps
Die-extruded manufacturing process for inner wire leaves a smooth surface for less friction in use, and stainless steel provides smooth shifting and higher corrosion resistance
Outer casing is lubricated internally along its length with low-friction silicon grease to reduce cable friction
Special construction process makes for an axially stiff outer casing that transmits shifting movements accurately and quickly
Outer casing is lined with a polymer sheath to assist with the smooth operation of the inner wire
