Plastic sleeve protection thingy ..

enc · Jul 7, 2015

haven't a clue what it's actually called but I'm looking for the sleeve that gear cables run through to stop the exposed cable chaffing against the frame. Not to be confused with normal brake/gear cable casing.

My local bike shop keeps it on a reel and sells by the metre.

Any idea what it's called ?

I have no idea, but take the old stuff in with you to your LBS.

if you use heatshrink, it stays in place and doesn't rattle

Re:

For the record the tubing on Clark's systems (dirt shield) is 2.40 ID / 2.80 OD

The ferrule long tubes (probably the same for the vnoodle length) has 1.80 ID and 2.20 OD
