Got a cargo bike with a Shimano Nexus 8 coaster hub, and shifting is getting unreliable which makes me think that fresh cable would be a cheap thing to try. I've measured what length I need (about 3m) but the internet is being singularly unhelpful on the subject of what kind of cable I want: is it the same stuff as derailleur gears use? 1.1mm or 1.2mm or does it even make a difference?

I'd probably be looking to change the housing as well as the inner. All relevant knowledge welcomed.

Loch side.
That's the stuff you want. Change the housing as well. 1.1 or 1.2 doesn't matter.
