Decided to take the plunge and attempt to change the cable myself for the back brake, it is a hybrid so is on V brakes
Since it is my first attempt I am going to go for the cheapest brake cable I can find, that way if I screw it up I don't mind throwing it away and getting the LBS to do it for me.
I have a Halfords near work so going to pick one up from there. The question is, is this cable okay, reason I ask is it says it is an inner cable? I know it is probably cheap and nasty and won't last long, but I can put a better cable on at a later date once I am confident with my fettling skills

Or do I go for this one, even though I wont want all the housing that is on it?
