As the title suggests, I'm looking for one of those little alloy and rubber cable lubers that clamp onto the top of the outer and you can squirt oil into with an old fashioned oil can, forcing it through the cable.

Can't find one anywhere.

Good places to look or someone got one I can borrow for a day?

I just take the grip end off, hold it up and drip the oil down the cable - it works its' way to the bottom eventually. Takes a little longer, but fancy-pants doodads aren't required.

Yeah, but I'm a lazy bastard and the cables aren't actuall on the bike. They're also pretty stiff so will need a bit of pressure to feed it all through I reckon.

FFS! It amazes me how dumbed down bike shops are getting. You have to seek & find one with one staff member that has 1/2 a clue as to where to get stuff & just pay whatever they ask. Yes I accept that shops don't carry every dodah, but they should be able to say distributor X carries these [quick flick on PC or heaven forbid the phone] oh yeah, in stock I see for $19 & I'll have one here tomorrow. Rather than a blank expression & a long explanation from you followed by a 'oh yeah, I think I've seen those before, but I haven't seen them for ages'. Take your cricket bat in next time & try & lern'em up real good Trashy.

All good now, that good cunt Firefight just stopped by for a chin wag about the bad ol' days and leant me his.

I only tried two shops but none of them knew what the fuck I was talking about. Shoulda just asked for their W. Whites catalog and pointed it out.

I didn't know a Senator had a throttle cable. No worries if you can't change gear, just redline her in first mate.

Bike shops are indeed a real pain in the ass. But if you talk to the service guys directly, hey get you sorted realy quickly.

I give all the bsuienss I can to Cycletreads because they have heled me out for free with pots of screws and fittings when I have needed help.
