Clutch cable repair city side? (inner only)

[The Pastor]

Who can make me a new clutch cable on the city side. I know Rodger dose it really well on the north shore, and there is one outfit in otahuhu or somewhere, but i want my cable repaired today, and i want it done close to me. Im talking CBD, newmarket, western springs, pt chev.

Someone must be able to do such a simple job? I have the broken cable, but missing the main fitting for the lever (it broke off) and the outer is fine.

Suggestions?

as a last resort, are there good DIY kits? I've done the speedo cables DIY and they worked really well.

Get a drill, some solder, and an oven. Go nuts.

Or go to any bike shop. If the mechanic can't make a simple clutch cable, then he's a pretty piss poor mechanic.

/edit: One thing though, don't expect him to drop everything to do it there and then, and expect a bill for 20-30 minutes of his time at his regular rate, plus parts.

I would question whether its actually economic to make or often repair cables anymore, unless its something rare or very highly priced. If a typical charge our rate is $70 to $80 per hour and it takes half an hour to make a cable theres up to $40 straight away plus parts. And its never going to be as good as a original cable, in 90% or more of instances.

I used to make all my own cables back in the day. Cos it was cheaper. Then I stopped, because by the time I bought the gubbins it was almost as cheap to buy a new cable. Then cables started getting up around $100+ . So I started making them again.

I used to make my own too...still have some inner and outer somewhere,and still do if I find some carbs I'd like to try,or some apehangers that look cool.But these days genuine is the way to go.Making cables is like setting points,so seldom done these days it's a skill young mechanics haven't put in the time to learn.....and the old ones have to relearn,on your cable.

takes 10mins to do, and it cost me $40 all up, way way cheaper than a new one (although would u be able to get a new one for a 1988 bike?)

and how on earth could it be not as good lol its a freeking cable!

10 mins to make a complete cable, what shower did you come down in? And theres no way they are as good as an oem Japanese cable.
