Drill holes in the end of some ferrules and thread them over the cable. You're welcome.

Thanks for all the bananas
Tell me more...

I thought I did too but I think I now remember I had to choose cable only as I snuck this onto a birthday present order and didn't want to raise suspicion..

At least I didn't order the twice as heavy downhill cable hey..

Just run a few laps of good quality electrical tape over your cable inner @HamboCairns. Make sure it is the insulated type and you'll be sweet. It's heaps more flexible than traditional outer. I used to do it on my long travel bikes so I could weave the cable through the various movable pivot parts that make up a big travel dh frame.

Had some time so I got out the tools...new wheels are ready, fork is ready, crank is on...just need to get these bits and pieces on the frame and do the brakes and I will have a new bike!

Lol just a joke. Fred ordered a new Exo DHF front tyre but was mistakenly sent a downhill version instead.

Yerp, Pins is probably my favourite Red Hill trail in the dry. In the wet however... I like how the maintenance for Fall Line is seemingly concentrated on keeping the corners awesome and just leaving the straight bits to "evolve" over time.Ouch! You're right, that is not coming good. You'd have to be fretting some insane guitar chords to use that brake lever now.
Having ridden Pins in the wet before and headbutting a tree, nothing gets me riding that in slippery conditions. Crusher was fine but still more lively than usual.
I know some work was done on Fall Line. It that is so choppy now. Still good fun as always.
I had a play last night and the metal is starting to become discoloured where the damage is. You know how when you bend a Redskin and it gets lighter and weird looking? Basically the same thing.
However I also tracked down a replacement lever which has a promised arrival date of late June.... so its wrench and save me a spot in the Confessions thread time.

Just spent the last few days arguing with GG about the snapped chain stay. They want me to pay for a new one. It was the original version on my bike which had a heap of failures so they redesigned it and happy days.
heaps of folks have snapped the old ones and gotten new one’s gratis.
My bike just turned 4 years old. Because “of its age” they feel it’s wear and tear even though it’s a known issue and they had to redesign it. Yes I’ve abused that bike and ridden it hard. Won’t lie. But their original chainstay was a dud. I’m surprised it didn’t bust earlier.
All I’ve gotten so far is their ridiculous Bill and Teds rad stoked dude speak.
I’m very unimpressed and even if they offered me an amazing deal on a carbon frame I’m not interested.
Pity as their bikes are fucking great.

At least it's not your only bike and before a trip away. Thank god for a miracle welder recommendation.

It’s my only full squish bike.
Well I do have a race in a month.
Know any good welders?
From every cloud comes a silver lining though. Might have myself a brand new frame sooner than later.

Yep, but he's in Toowoomba QLD. But if you want me to ask I can see if he'd weld it up?
