Thanks cired. Great info. I found out through trial and error if you cut up the little semi clear tubing that ships with the system you can slide the clippings inside a few links at the end for some added friction. This came in very handy as I am routing all cables (brake and shifters) inside the handlebars. I had several links slip off inside the bar at the beginning which made me play the shake-the-bars-upsidedown-like-a-madman-and-hope-the-loose-bits-fall-out game. fun! Later I learned to not trim down the teflon liner until after routing through the bars and this helped keep any rogue links from falling in.
I found the extra teflon liner in a 5m length online and brought that in, thanks for the tip. It makes the run solid as I had hoped. I also took a page from your book and am using some little o-rings for where the cable touches the frame. I t looks as if the rear cable may sag a bit though, not sure why.
I had also debated using the Jagwire cables and I think after hearing you went with them, I think I will also give them a try. It couldn't hurt anyway. Keep me updated how long they last for you and I'll do the same.
