Dellc Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I’m sure this has been coved before but the throttle cable snapped while out on a run earlier today and I’m wondering if anyone knows Where I can get one from as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Bicycle shop. Bike cable with same size nipple one end. Screw nipple the other end (at pedal top). Reuse the original outer sleeve. Cost a couple of Pounds. Where are you located ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It's a gear or brake cable. My spares are a stainless cable with a Teflon coating. I got screw nipples from eBay for pennies. You can use an electrical screw connector or even a pin from a 3-pin mains plug behind the throttle pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 And to prevent this happening again fit a pedal stop so you can't overload the cable :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Or simply use sympathy rather than hammering the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 MTB brake cable, preferably a stainless version, lightly oil the outer before inserting the new inner.if you cant find a solderless nipple you can use 5amp choc block electrical connectors one either side of the pedal.
