In addition to a boot (bellows) being a good idea, while I was helping Kapt Kaos inspect and reinstall a clutch cable last Tuesday evening, I noticed that he had a retaining ring that secures the cable sheath to the pulley housing (a washer with a tab sticking out on one side that bends into the hole on the side of the housing). I had never seen one of those before.


They go on the inside and act as a keeper so the clutch cable doesn't slide out. Still have my original one.

I just replaced my clutch cable after seeing the frayed bits sticking out at the roller. When I took it off, it was actually WORSE at the end just inside the housing. The cable bits broke at the friction point where the housing ends in a metal circle and were lumped up inside the housing, out of sight completely.
So, if you see any cable fray at all it is worth a closer look or quick replacement. I went with the Terry Cable version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Exactly same place where mine frayed and broke. Did you find foreign material in the wire too ?

Seems like a boot could really protect this area----anyone seen one ?


I referred to the boot/bellows since it would keep dirt and grit out of the end of the cable housing where you seem to indicate the cable failed. This is where I see them tend to fail.
There was never a boot that covered the roller and maybe if there was only dry lube (like used on high end bicycle chains) on the exposed cable and roller there would not be a bunch of grit stuck to your cable and roller.
Me, I make sure the cable is lubed and the bellows in place and then wipe the exposed cable and the roller clean.
The failure rate of cables never seemed excessive to me and they are not too tough or expensive to replace so doing anymore did not seem necessary.

DAMN ... PP wants $9.00 for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Does anyone out here have a (cheap) used one laying around that they could pop into an envelope? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Cable stop plate 914-423-283-00 $9.00 from Pelican (the first place I looked.)

Part # 914 423 283 00 supposed to be replaced with new cable but most often reused with no down side.
