  • Is there anything special or non-standard about the brake and gear cable inners and outers? I can see replacements sets for a tenner for one inner and outer per brake etc for each specific models, but is it just standard stuff pre-cut to the right length?

    Thinking I can just buy/dig out some lengths of regular brake and (Shimano?) gear cable and make sure I cut the outers to the same length as the old stuff.

  • AIUI it's nothing particularly special, but to work well with the fold etc the cable length needs to be within a couple of mm of the optimum original. I think the brake outer is pretty standard - not sure whether if you're using compressionless you need to tweak the length at all?
