Bowden cable per foot - where to buy?
« on: November 18, 2011, 05:31:29 AM »
Anybody has a source for bowden cables?  I would much prefer to make my own than use what is available from parts stores.

Cables for what? Motorcycle cables a generally way thicker than bicycle cables.

I found what I need at MotionPro - cable 1550mm I can use to replace the "1" section on my 1-4 throttle cable.
