Compressionless brake brake housing in Dublin?

    I've installed new TRP Spyre mechanical disk brakes yesterday and they feel very spongy - it seems that I don't have the right cable housing installed.

    I've called a few shops and either they do not know what I am talking about (being very arrogant by the way - Duff Cycles is definitely off my list now!) or they do, but have none in stock (Cycleways)

    It seems that a linear BMX cable would do the trick too.

    Any idea where I can find it - preferably on the northside or city centre?

    Just called Beecycles - Daragh have Jagwire compressionless sets in stock. I should have started there and probably will the next time :D

    Did you make sure to grind/file/sand the cable ends flat when you cut them? Are the outers taped down tight and have no excessively sharp bends?
