Yours?

No way man!

I like a good ferrule as much as the next man, but a couple of pounds-worth normally sees me right...

 

[retrokona]

what are they?
:?

 

[Russell]

How are they rare or worth a tenner?

You could knock those off a lathe in seconds and they'd cost pennies.

 

[guysbikes]

They're cable ends.

I can't work out why anyone would pay that kind of money for ferrules old or new. We'd give them out free in my shop so good luck to this seller & if they sell I think we'll revise our pricing!

are they not the bits that go into frames with enlarged cable guides so your cables actually have stops.

dont know what they are called but i know my pro flex is missing them so i have to run full outers for everything

i think yetis use them too.

Ah that'll explain it then. They looked pretty standard to me but that makes more sense.
