Cheap upgrade
I decided that changing out my cables every year is a cheap upgrade that really makes a difference. These have been as good , if not better than the stock shimano that came on my components. Would definitely recommend.

Bought these for my MTB but was told by mechanic that they won't work with it because of the way the cables are cut. He said it would work on pretty much any road bike, though. Can't return it now, so I'll hold onto them for when my road bike cables need to be replaced.
I replaced some housing on an old bike that was starting to deteriorate. The housing was being held together with some electric tape which really slowed down the shifting. As you can imagine the improvement these made was night and day different.
I don't recommend letting your housing get to that point, but regardless, this kit is great. It plays great with all the rest of my Shimano 105 components and brings back that crisp action you expect when shifting.
I just got these and they are the 4mm OD housing, but work great with my 9spd DuraAce setup which recommends 5mm.
I actually had a set of Shimano DA 7900 cables on the 7700 grupset, but can honestly say that these feel more slick providing faster gear engagement.
The only downside are the cable ends, which are too soft and get crushed, and don't stay on. Just get some spares from your LBS.
