Wanted - Throttle cable (NEW)

[GeoffW]

I think the white plastic piece pulls out from the pedal, may need pliers to remove, once out the cable inner will pass through the small slot above hole

Thanks bud

I gave it the lube job in the end. However, I could not for the life of me get the end to come off the accelerator peddle. I ended up doing it in situ hanging from thetop of the opened bonnet.

One day, in 1,000 years time, an archaeologist will unearth my worn and rusted accelerator peddle - with the damn cable still attached !!

I too have had a sticky throttle cable I've tried oiling, it did help a bit for a few days but now it's as bad as it was.

I decided to get a new one, Rimmers out of stock, with no indication of getting more!! Tried these chappies above and they have stock (somewhat cheaper than Rimmers it must be said) I am assuming they are new, it doesn't say otherwise and they are pictured in bags.

So new one on the way.

Given the comments above, when the new one arrives, would it be worth adding extra lubricant before I fit it?

Discuss!!

should be new, they are just another part of x part, so should be good.

Lube it before you use it, I bought a new one and within a few months it went notchy even oiling it with 3 in 1, for over a year now its been fine using teflon lubricant spray designed for cables etc, I bought it from a cycle shop

Halfords are doing GT85 teflon lubricant half price at the mo - £1.99. I have half a dozen can in the garage as the bikes get copious amounts sprayed on them...

I like that stuff just for the smell, I spray my enduro bike over with tesco bumper and trim shine, costs under £ 2.00 and its the big cans, Muck off do something similar to spray over after washing but its a bit sticky, the fork seals don't like
it and it can cause them to leak as the stickyness almost turns them inside out
WD 40 is no good as it makes rubber expand.

Sounds like Teflon is the stuff to go for then.

I do have some spray lithium grease which states doesn't melt, etc, which I thought might be suitable.

That would be fine and is what I would go for if you can get it down the tube.
