Nylon lined gear cables

[paulnobodyimportant]

Noticed a large variance in prices from various suppliers. Don't mind paying for quality if it works, so can anyone recommend where to get them from. Problem is stiff gear change on my Jet, although routed correctly, it looks like it is related to the fact that I may have put the shorter GP cables as everything is tight.

But if I'm going to change them for the longer li ones, may as well get the best, what with arthritis creeping in!!!

BGM all the way

And spray the inners with GT85 from Halfrauds (yes, I know their nylon lined, but the Teflon in the GT85 makes a lot of difference)

Just changed mine for BGM ones , I thought it was time when I realised the old ones had been in eleven years

fancy a set off these anyone used them ????

I've not used the Venhill ones but they have a display at trade shows and their cables do seem super smooth but I think the BGM ones are very good so I'll stick with them for now. It's just a shame that they don't sell them singly as I only really want the clutch and both gears.

I use the "Champion" brand from India. They come in a silver-foil packet and despite the price, they have been very good.

Cheap doesn't always mean poor quality.

When it comes to back brake inner cables, there is only one supplier of choice.

[Timbo]

Can't argue with that...

[paulnobodyimportant]

Actually, when you compare prices between Champion and BGM, not a lot of difference. But just measured a few of my outer cables in the garage and most are 1610mm long on outer cable.

But FYI have a look at the link below so we all know what lengths they should be.

I bought a job lot of Bajaj cables years ago, and they are the best cables ive ever had (the job lot was 100 various cables..ten quid!) some were braided, all were nylon lined, and square winding so they didn't compress on pulling. they were all white outers though. used them on various peoples scooters over the years, and only have a handful of them left...funny choke ones and the likes. so, as knowledge says , cheap can be good....unless you need a lammy back brake cable, and the one on mine is the one from leechy, spot on.
