Hi all, I'm after the outer cable for a QA rear brake cable. I purchased just the inner thinking it would fit in a standard outer. However the one I have is way too thick to fit the one I have. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can buy a thicker outer? Thanks in advance Pete.

Message 'knowledge' and swap your inner for the smaller diameter version.

Yeah, not a problem. I have inner cables with the usual 3mm wire, and some with 2.5mm wire. The 2.5mm wire suits the thinner, nylon-lined outer cables that VE started to sell a few years back.

If you have purchased one of my cables, and it is too thick, I'll swap for the thinner one FOC. PM me anyway.....

Oh, and I am selling at Brid, on the K2 Custom stall beneath the balcony next to VFM. Come and see me if you're in town.

Yes.

I am sharing my stall with Keith Newman (K2 Custom). We are under the balcony, next to VFM and opposite the stage.

I'll have inner back brake cables, special choke cables (TS1 length), electrical crimping tools and the most common terminals (sold in 50's for £4), and some clutch cable fitting tools.
