Has anyone seen orange colored derailleur cable housing? If so, what brand and where did you see it? Gotta bling the bike! Cheers :beer:
most definitely- cable housing is designed for more constant pressure with one piece of "Wire" twisted to make the housing and brake housing is many "wires" twisted to make the housing- cut a section of both to see. (i could be entirely backwards on the cross section...help, anyone???) also, the cables themselves are different thicknesses- shifter is usually skinnier while brake is usually thicker. edit: apparently you can blow out brake housing if used as brake housing.
MCK207 Ripcord derailleur kit Maxxis Orange Kevlar reinforced w/ L3 Liner 4.5 x 1800mm 1500mm / 2000mm they have two different kits, one for brakes and one for derailleurs :beer:
Starting your thanksgiving celebration early eh slowSSer:drunk: Brake housing is the single coiled strand much like a compressed spring. The derailleur housing is the parallel multistrand with much less pronounced twist. The brake housing will deform more under compression which makes it lousy for shifting accuracy. The derailleur housing while more resistant to deformation, will blow out if used for a brake application. Not cutting a derailleur housing perpendicular to its length will leave uneven strands which can also cause blowouts.
no- i blame the kiddo- the midnight feeding sucked. on that note, have we drank together before? it seems like you know me :lol: thanks for the clarification.
Hehe, the only drinking I do are smoothies. I can't handle the taste or the effects of liquor. Watch those midnight feedings, I've been told not to let them get used to it. My little guy does the midnight thing off and on, but we try not to feed him unless it's the 5am wakeup. And the wanting to be held in the middle of the night thing ..... Ah the joys of parenting:bang:#-o](*,)[-([-o-]
our kiddo's still only 3.5 months. here's the worst part- her normal morning wake-up-ready-to-go time is 6:00 am. ugh. coffee is starting NOT to help. btw- what the hell is your avatar?:?:
Welcome to the club! Mine is 6 months and going through her first ear infection. That one kept me up every 2 hours all night for almost week! Coffee is now in my Camelback. Next step --- coffee IV drip, wide open. 8-[
You are about out of the woods too! Around three/four months they start getting easier and start smiling a lot more --- one smile makes your midnight wake-up call worth it.
Mine is at 11 months when he's starting to get needy and fussy. Often at the same time. He still makes it hard to sleep in on the weekends. At least he doesn't let me miss morning rides. The avatar is a Kodama, a japanese spirit that's said to live in trees. It's depiction is from the anime movie Princess Mononoke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Mononoke I thought the rattling bobble head thing was hilarious.
