My throw is starting to feel notchy again, which means it’s time to replace yet again. In 15 years this will be #6. I know Mark was looking at offering a better one but never saw the upshot.
So how often do you replace yours? It would sure be nice if they were self adjusting like old shoe type brakes. |

So are we supposed to have lots of grease on the cable and wheel where it makes the turn? Does the thicker cable or the 6 really fit the 4?

So are we supposed to have lots of grease on the cable and wheel where it makes the turn? Does the thicker cable or the 6 really fit the 4? Ditto the question. Grease -- No. Especially not on the pulley or the exposed cable Grease attracts and holds dirt and debris. You want light oil inside the cable housing as previously outlined. Hitting the pulley pivot with a bit of silicone spray every now and then isn't a bad idea. You want the pully to rotate with the cable, not have the cable being pulled over the pulley and/or have grease with sand in it being ground between the pulley and the cable. |
