Cable repair
This may be preaching to the converted but I always carry a cable repair kit on the bike.I use a Hein Gericke Nipple Breakdown Kit,part no 22000777 available from www.hein-gericke.com.Sorry,I've no idea how to put a link in,and I'm not sure if they ship to the States.It includes two cable inners and various screw-on nipples,but only one that fits throttle cables so you have to buy two kits!However,it's cheaper than a tow truck!It's got me home more than once.Well worth the money at ?5.99 plus postage. =D>Tags: None

Cable repair
Thanks John.I'm afraid I suffer from serious technofear when it comes to computers and the like.I still run points & condensers after a Boyer Brandsen ignition unit went bang and took both coils out!Ned Ludd lives.

cable
Dont need a clutch cable to shift, and if one of the 2 throttle cables breaks I swap them, I can ride with the throttle backwards

Bicycle cables are not as strong, due to their smaller diameter, and may have slightly smaller end fittings, but they will work, and they are widely available.Bertrand Russell: 'Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.'
