So what are you guys doing for lube on these cables when you build them? I'm assuming they need something, right?Comment

ive used this method with the bakers flux , and lead free solder and it works great ! i also use brass pen ink inserts ( from OLD pens ) cut down to 1/8 - 3/16 pieces to replicate the small barrel ends on triumph / british cables , the cable eventually breaks but the solder joint does'nt just my .02Comment

after looking at both sights posted earlier looks like flanders might be a little cheaper. But all their stuff is listed by part number once you look at buying kits. what are you guys using to measure your cable thickness? a micrometer or something similar cause i'm about to take off my tbars for a set of apes just for shits and giggles and wanna make my own cablesLast edited by fxrjocky; 04-11-2011, 7:45 PM.Comment

Thanks Sumo. Made a foot clutch cable instead of solid linkage for the old shovel. Used solid core solder and some liquid flux from the farm supply store I had sitting on a shelf for years. Sorry, couldn't read the brand on the flux anymore, Golden-something or other. Cost next to nothing...
(BTW the cable came from an old hang glider)Last edited by Guest; 06-22-2011, 7:31 PM.Comment
