Must be up your way geezer, cos my wallet is smoking recently....... (seriously gotta stop buying retro bits )

 

[clockworkgazz]

It is defo up my way, in fact the epicentre is in my livingroom.

Assuming it is a rear gear cable, just wind the stop in so that you are in 5th or something. Then you have a nice three speed bike.

Oh, I know all about that...we (two adults, two nippers) have a weekly food budget of just £30...and all credit to Mrs HB, we still eat well on it...funny how much you can save (or not spend) when it comes to it. Homemade peanut butter works out about 25p to make :shock:
But today is my Bday...so we are having
Wild Sea Bass...cooked St Pierre a la Menagere...roasted vine ripened toms, broccoli and a nice bottle of Meursault...and then we are going to watch No Country for Old Men (mmmmm....somewhat appropriate )

Best film I've seen in years

when...you're feeding an inner cable through the outer and one strand nicks...and uncurls its way up the cable...and that cable's f**ked now and you havn't got a spare inner and your LBS only sells complete kits and you wanted to go for a quick blast this afternoon..... :evil:

If you are ony going for a quick blast strip the offending strand back to the nipple,cut it of and try again. then replace offending cable at your leisure.
