Good source for di2 wiring?
I'm doing a reconfiguration of my di2 setup and I'm wondering if anyone knows of, or has a good source in terms of price and length availability for wiring and maybe a junction box or two. I'm thinking ebay but I'm wondering if I will sacrifice quality for a cheap price.
Any leads, insights, or perspectives are welcomed Cheers Jay |

I've found Backcountry/competitive cyclist has some pretty good selection at very good prices. But I tend to only order from them when I have enough items to get free shipping though. Sometimes if there are eBay coupons they will work on cycling stuff or open ended I'll purchase instead from the Backcountry eBay store to help with price but not everything they offer on their website is listed on the eBay store though.

If anyone makes Di2 parts other than Shimano, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Recently comp cyclist has had the best prices and sometimes the Pro’s closet will also have a random selection of wires but usually they don’t have everything you need.

Every now and then you see a place that is trying to get rid of the last few of one size and has them for around $10/wire, but for the most part it's pretty reliable that you can find 'em for like $20/wire, no matter the length.
I haven't seen any non-Shimano made Di2 wires, but if I did, I'd be more concerned about the strength of the connection/plug than anything about the wire. |

Colorado Cyclist has all the wiring bits and options and what seems to be competitive pricing.

I just built my new bike and got the wires from Backcountry via clicking through active junky which gave me an additional 9% cashback. I wanted the 1400 mm wire to run from the B-junction to the shifter to avoid all the extra cabbage I see on some bikes. I only have one wire from the frame to the bar which I spiral wrapped to the single rear hydro line. The wires were easy to run, the hydro line was a PIA!

To clarify, I would not buy no-name wiring. I should have asked if the cheaper cost of the Shimano wires from some eBay vendors indicated a lesser quality.
