Venhill exup repair kit - PaulSmith - 22-03-14
I bought the venhill kit to replace a frayed cable exup cable. I got the old one out and put the new one in and it took maybe ten minutes, then I cut it too short. My fault, I forgot to measure twice before cutting.
Could I get the second cable in? Not a chance! Over an hour later and I have given up. How the hell do you stop the end of the cable from fraying and snagging, stopping it from going through ?
A second question? Should I be using locktight or something on the screw holding the cable in the nipple? Given the heat and vibration, I cant see how it would stay in place?

I normally solder the cable before I cut it when replacing them.

Someone said dip the end in wax to thread it through.
I didn't.
