    Christchurch - Throttle cable maker?

    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.
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

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

    Will see. I went in yesterday with them and he said he'd have them done today. Just popped in and he hasn't done them but says they will be by 3pm

    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.
