thanks

It's called an outer cable, the actual cable is called the "inner"
Make sure you buy a replacment gear cable outer and inner.

Compliments to above chatters but the OP is not after gear cable outer, they are after 'Gear cable liner tube for internally routed'
maybe like this:

ok, i think i get it now , the lining is just to help you route the new cable through the frame? it's not actually needed but makes things a hell of a lot easier...
i pulled the old liner out in my haste but i think it was causing issues anyway.

bought some cable liner and it was a little too thick. my rear derailleur cable needs to go through some sharp bends at the bottom bracket, specifically that little black router thing that plugs in at the bottom (which i'm sure has a proper name)
fine for a bare cable, a night mare for cable liner. i've just left the cable bare. cables were exposed on my old bike with no bother so...
internal cable routing definitely has it's pros and cons
