Nice find and rebuild.!

Very similar spec to mine. (Now sold)

Bought from original owner which was neat as she loved the bike but age and health have stopped her from being able to ride it. I assured her it would have a new life and be enjoyed again.

I love a story like that. I know a guy who shares pics from his rides, much to the delight of the previous owner

So these Suntour XC shift pods take a cable that I haven’t seen before. Anyone know where Incan source these? Have a barrel shaped head like a brake only much smaller.

Mine had thumbies, so I can't help I'm afraid.

Apparently these were a Suntour XC specific cable that hasn’t been made for several years. The standard Shimano shift cable will fit in the slot. though not perfect it apparently doesn’t cause any shifting issues. Time will tell
