So after getting ripped off on ebay and hopefully getting my money back, I have to find 2 pairs of Black Nokon Shimano Shifter sets. I have the brake cable sets on the way thanks to a very good Ebay store but they do not have any of the shifter sets. Anyone know what the least expensive place to get Nokon's is.

I have bought Nokons at www.bike-components.de

I have no idea if they are the cheapest, but they are cheap.

What is the difference between the campy and shimano nokon sets? I want to get a set for sram shifter but not sure which one.

I guess that is the Campagnolo set you want for that. - It has something to do with the routing of the cables.

You would want the campy set for that. They have the rods for under the bartape for both the brakes and the gears. You could also use the pearls under the bartape if you seal them properly but most people I have heard that did this had some problems with them oxidizing.

I don't have any suggestions for where to buy them. If your lbs doesn't have them I would have a look at one of the site sponsors here :noidea:
