I ordered 1m of the generic brake cable from Ali. So, flexible I didn't use it cause I figured it would be spongy or blow the casing open.  I found jagwire shifter cable in bulk at same price per meter about 3-4 months ago on Amazon.  I bought jagwire lex-sl for shifters and more expensive keb-sl for brakes.

I have bought generic hydraulic hose from Amazon. I expect it to be the same as aliexpress.  It was simple to cut and put fittings on. I haven't tried them yet but are on shimano 805 flat mount calipers.
