Is it acceptable to mix cable outer colours?

Any colour other than black or grey should be banned.

Magura don’t have yello fluro lines although they do have different colours over on the tartybikes site. But the gear cable gives the accent to the now slightly faded frame decals

Funny you should say that, I've only ever mixed black and xtr grey.

Only you can decide.
It's one of those things I'd do, decide it's fine, then look at the bike a couple of days later and be all 'No, looks shit, got to change it!'

I think I might be in this camp! It'd be ruinous to fudge about with a nice set (of cables), only to think I've been a twot. I might have to get some fluoro gear cables?!

'Suit' as there are flashes of the same turquoise.

Only if your bike is for example neon yellow - black. Then you can mix those colours.

It's a Merlin - a whole lotta black and 'silver' - so it'd likely stick out like a pair of tats on a cat.

It's decided - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! For this bike anyway, but I Iike the idea as a possible thing to do with a coloured bike
