Great, thanks for the tip
It doesn't specifically say it's compressionless, can we assume it is because it's braided?

I did, bought some and it turned out fine.
Think @coventry_eagle had/has good things to say about it too...

I believe it is. I've just looked but can't find the review I read previously. I do recall it stating the housing was particularly inflexible.

Cheers for the shout @andy_k
Yeah Ed they're compressionless housing. If you need to chop them off, use a dremel instead of normal cable cutters to maintain the round shape. The outer comes with PTFE liner which reduces friction.
While you're at it might be worth while to get the Goodridge cables too as they are also PTFE coated. No grease needed, just lube them with GT85.
Since we're on the subject, if you're running MTB levers, plenty of BMX brands does compressionless (linear cables/non-binding etc) too. My favorite is from BLANK which comes with PTFE inner and coated cables and you can get them for a fiver from eBay. This is the guy I bought from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blank-Bikes-Linear-BMX-Bicycle-Brake-Cable-/171212332357?var=&hash=item27dd0cdd45 Out of black though

I know it's not in London, but Chain Reaction Cycles sell Goodridge housing by the metre.
