• Straddle wire cable centre pull

  in Bikes & Bits • 9 years, 5 months

  

  Afternoon all...
  I am in midst of changing my Carlton from fixie to free wheel.
  I have a two sets of GB Coureur 66 brake callipers and am in need of the straddle wires / cables (x4). The barrels on each end need to be approx 5mm or 3/16 of an inch in old money.
  I have tried the Weinmann equivalent but the barrels on either end of the cables are are too big, approx 7mm or 1/4 inch.
  Does any one have any spare straddle wires / cables available for sale or does any know where I could purchase such them?
  Sort of loathed to start drilling out the callipers, seems such a shame.
  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  I'm a bit of an amateur, just done some reading on the tubular, probably not going to work.
  Thanks for the heads up on the Conti's. I think there the only option.
  Such a shame there are no more 1" tyres around, they look so much better

  I shudder to think about it but Halford online show some Continental Giro 27x1 tyres. I'll give them a go and post the results, cheers

  Any tried or experienced 27x1 tyres on 27x1 1/4 rims? I want something a little lower profile.
  Thanks

  Do you still have the Weinmann wheelset? Just joined LFGSS and noticed you took them down 2 days ago.
