Ok, might be swearing in the church but since this is the only bicycle forum I'm a member of and considering the vast knowledge of the members here, I take the chance to ask anyway ;)
I have a new (old) bike, a BSA from the 30-40s, which is about finished for riding now.
However, I have a problem with the gears which for this bike I'd like to keep. Basically, the gear cable attaches in a non-standard way inside the gear shifter, where it looks as if it should hook up on a small pin.
I assume I'm missing a part of the shifter or if it is a general detail which you attach to the end of the gear cable (not the usual welded end cap) with a small screw, which in the other end is ring shaped.
The shifter looks like this:
Down at the gear hub it's an ordinary cable connector like this:
If anyone knows how to attach the cable to the pin inside the shifter or knows either where to buy or has for sale the detail I assume should be attached to the end of the cable that goes into the shifter that would be much appreciated.
Kind regards, Vic
