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. ??
It is stiffer than regular spiral wound housing, but not so stiff that I can't form it to the bars with some electrical tape before wrapping the bars. I have not felt the need for the flexible sections that come with the kit, but I have found that I need to install it with no ferrule on the brake lever end for some brands of shifters.
