Cabling my cargo bike today. Runs to rear brake and mech are really long, longer than a standard rear cable, so I bought tandem inner cables online and then spent an inordinate amount of money on 3 meters each of gear and brake outer at my lbs this morning.
The gear outer was such poor quality I decided not to even bother trying to use the brake outer and instead came up with a way to join two bits of compressionless outer together.
The ferrules are a really snug fit inside this bit of stainless tubing that I have. The tubing came from an Ikea trivet by the way, I’ve also built racks and light mounts with it.
