Brake cable protector/sheath

Folks,
I'm trying to source in either clear or black the very narrow tubing that is used over exposed gear/brake cables between the cable stops usually along the toptube in place of using 'donuts'.
Google-foo is not working, anyone know what its actual name is and where I can get hold of some?

Teflon tubing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... p;_sacat=0

Or you can get kits to pretty much seal the inner cable from the elements: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/transfil-gear-c ... proof-kit/

If you have some spare outer brake cable, pull it apart and use the inner liner. It's usually white though, not black or clear.

I needed some and specifically wanted black. The only stuff I could find that wasn't ridiculously oversized was this:

I used the 1/8" one, it's *just* wide enough internally for brake cables. As you can see I had to buy 30m so have plenty spare. PM me your address and how much you want and I'll bung some in the post for you.

heat shrink tubing
I got mine from maplin, cant remember the size 1.5mm or something.

Slide on, taking note of cable movement, so it it cannot go right to the ends(3/4" about)

Then on with the hairdryer Works an absolute treat.

I use half about 1999 or 2000 and the other unused half i keep moving from place to place, tucking it behind a shelf ,then in a drawer, then in the toolbox and so on and so forth, these last 16 odd years.
Im still sure ill find another use for it

Cheers or the replies folks,
most helpful!
