Did you have any issues with excessive stiffness. The housing I got from wiggle is VERY stiff and and a real faff to bend in shape for under the tape mount on a drop bar.
The PRO kit comes with two pieces of ordinary brake housing for those first few inches that has a tight radius, but im not sure how to replicate the splice between the the ordinary and compressionless housing, except for buying the kit. ??
Just get the Pro kit. One of the things with compressionless housing like the Pro is importance of using the right ferrules. With some ferrules the linear wires can be pushed through the hole the inner passes through if the shape of the inside end isn't right . So at least with the kit you know you are good to go. Oh yeah, the short flex sections aren't normal cable, no coating and has the joiner swaged on the end.
