Excel SE 87+ MY Throttle Cable

Post by gerty »

Has anyone an original equipment throttle cable, I'd love a new one but happy to buy a used one.
A loan one for pattern purposes will also be fine.
Currently available ones are a bit different !

Thanks, David.

Hi David.

I can lend you a used original one to copy if you have no joy finding one. It is an SA one but told the same.

just up the road in west oxfordshire

In layout, nowt. But the old cable has less strands than the new one so is slightly stiffer and therefore more robust, or, you could make your own, I used the rear brake cable from a tandem pedal cycle and transferred the ends over on the outer cable.
