Where have all the Rear bmx cables gone?

(1/2) > >>

Taipan:
Anyone else like me wonder where all the rear cables have disappeared to?  ???  every time I see cables for sale especially 'Powerglide' and 'DC' on ebay they are nearly always Front cables  :-\ which begs the question? where have all the rear's gone!  :-\

Chilli Rinse:
I have thought about that too. I reckon it's that front and rears were probably made in equal numbers, most race bikes only use rears, others use pairs, plus the breakages. That's my thinking but who knows.

Two rears were used on most freestyle bikes  after 84 ish ran a Potts mod. That's my theory.

Taipan:
Both good points  :daumenhoch:

another thing I find is when I have found the matching rear? the seller wants a stupid amount for it maybe for the reasons you guys mentioned above?

i.e I had a silver front powerglide which I bought for about a tenner posted I then saw a matching rear on ebay and the seller wanted ?39.95 plus post ffs!  :uglystupid2:

Chilli Rinse:
Yeah, I've been in the same situation with a yellow front. I got lucky and picked a rear up cheap soon after in a little bundle. Keep looking Carl  :daumenhoch:
