Dura-ace.
If you get your LBS to do it you only pay for what's used (rather than buying a kit) and I find it's usually cheaper. And they have better cutters/skills.

Cables are so 2014!!
But jagwire was fine for me. But could spend a bit more and get top notch ones.

SRAM is rarely discounted, and even the trade prices are rubbish. Basically - if you want it you have to pay the asking price.
This.
Shimano hydraulic Di2 shifters is cheaper than the entry level SRAM S700 10 speed hydraulic shifters.
What does everyone use? I usually run jagwire pro racer or the cheaper ones
Brake or shift cable? I've recently fitted a Jagwire Road Elite Sealed brake cable set on the girlfriend's winter bike, and I'm impressed with how silky smooth it feel, with nifty feature to keep it sealed, it's not obvious the first time round on how to fit it, but five minutes in reading the instruction should sufficient.

Cheers. Interesting the discussion that this has started. I guess merlin and fudges are the way to go. I bought my last sram group from fudges (and remember you and I had a chat about it on here). I loved the group although I didn't get too many miles in before it was stolen, along with the bike. I've used 105 since then which is more than adequate for my needs, although I fancy some more bling, and nice hoods. Also I'm clearly not riding enough: see previous forum discussions about how projects take over when riding wanes...

On a side note: is there a thread about cables?
What does everyone use? I usually run jagwire pro racer or the cheaper ones, but have found them a bit stiff. Recommendations for other cable sets that don't cost £100+?
