Sorry, no time to search as I'm on my break from work and not home much lately.


I have heard there are a number of places that will make you throttle cables if you bring them in the broken one.

Does anyone have a name of a few places.. particularly places that you've gotten good service and quality of product.

Thanks in advance.

Have you actually used him for bike throttle cables?

Need to get sorted ASAP - March Hare bike rally in a week and also need to put my car off the road to finish off some repairs.

for the dirtbikes you could always buy a "universal" cable with a variety of nipples supplied to solder at the working end once the cable was cut to length.

Do you have an address or nearby streets? Halswell Junction is a very long road!

Well had to go back again as he didn't put one cable together right (part of the mounting hardware was on backwards) and also I forgot part of the mounting for the other cable.

Anyway, a day later than intended... the cables are on the bike. He used stainless braided cable, with a new sleeve that is plastic tube lined. The cables are super smooth.
