Internal cable run tube help

[philipsimpson]

Hi Everyone
I'm in a bit of a fix!
Does any one have a bike internal cable / sheath for guiding internal frame cables? I could borrow please? My rear derailleur cable needs replacing asap / not working....eeeeek and the LBS are so busy and can't do it for 2/3 weeks! So I need to have a go at doing it myself! I could always try the cotton and hoover method mmmmmm..!!
All the best Phil

Thanks David

although the second option on the video suggests using an old spoke and a grinding wheel!

I had a ride around today and there's a small bike shop called The London Bicycle Repair Shop, just behind the Anchor and Hope Pub on the Cut in Waterloo and they kindly just gave me some tubing. 

If anyone is struggling to get repairs done they didn't seem that busy and very friendly.

Thanks again 
Phil

I also had trouble with this a while back. Was skeptical about the cotton & hoover method.. surprisingly though it did work!
