This is my first time building a bike with Goodridge outer gearcables. The reason why I did not buy a complete kit, is that it's going on a tandem, and everything needs to be custom length. Can someone tell me, just to make sure, do I have everythin I need to install it.

Do I need anything else to connec them to my shifters. (The inner cable I know how to connect:p )

I know, I'm a dork:D

You will also need a pair of cable cutters. The Park Tool cable cutters will be the last cutter you will ever need.

No don't ask if you can use normal wire cutters. They are not sharp enough to cut the housing without damaging it. The only wire cutters I have seen that are sharp enough - actually sharper than cable cutters - is either Klein wire cutters or Knipex. My Knipex did cost me $75 per pair - I have 2.
