Anyone used this http://www.wiggle.com/jagwire-ripcord-mtb-brake-cable-kit/ ? Half the price of the Yokozuna etc. Can't say there's anything wrong with the standard cable outer I've been using, even with the weight of a kid on the back, but need new bar tape, and while it's off I fancy trying compressionless to see what all the fuss is about.
There's a pair of slightly used (!) Spyres for sale on here somewhere for a fair price at the moment. Here.
Jagwire do compressionless housing. BMX housing has also been suggested, and I believe @mdcc_tester has a suggestion too. FWIW I raced on Spyres with normal crappy cable housing this year and never felt under-braked, just under-skilled :)
