bought some gyro cables ages ago and with T1 tomorrow thought I'd better finally fit them
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ss208/splitsecondimports/Miscellaneous%20products/SSTDualLowerCable.jpg)
now it was only once I'd pulled the manky old ones off that I noticed the new ones appear to be about 8 inches too long ::)
thought I'd got the right ones (didn't see sizing options when I got them), but both ends of the housing appear to be fairly solidly finished off - before I risk fooking them up is it ok to trim these down?
they're supposed to be going on this

thanks in advance for any advice
cheers

Remove the inners from the housing first :daumenhoch: If you can bro, just pull the metal end sleeves of the housing, trim it to length, and replace the sleeves :daumenhoch:
If not, just trim and fit and the will work fine bro :coolsmiley:

thanks mate - at first glance I didn't think I'd get the end thingies off without cutting them off
my pliers are a bit shite so will see if uncle spen or hootski can bring their snippers down
cheers

Thats k dude :daumenhoch: Some of the newer ones are b*tches to get off though :yahoo_silent:
I have done loads bro so you should be fine :daumenhoch:
Have fun @ T1 Wish I was coming :(
-
just a thought are there two lengths from upper and lower cables ? ???
-
uppers are staying where they are
lowers are 2 separate cables that go through one guide & then feed into the little bracket that attaches to the downtube (see the pic of the bike ;))
