Gear cable ferrules
Gear cable ferrules
Can anyone suggest a good source (in bulk) of good quality metal ferrules for 4mm gear cable outers or the same in plastic. I have used plastic FIbrax and Clarks for years but they have a tendency to be a bit oversize and this causes issues if they are sitting in an adjuster.
The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

You could try Ebay but I don't know how you get the size you want.

I got a bulk lot of cable crimps for not very much off Ebay.

You'll never know if you don't try it.

promax make them

they are distributed by Raleigh in the UK I think.
These ferrules are a sliding fit onto 4mm gear housing and are ~5.0mm OD; they will fit into any hole meant for brake cable outer and will allow barrel adjusters to rotate freely.
cheers

It's not those, which I call crimps and the OP is looking for "ferrules for 4mm gear cable outers"
I like the Jagwire aluminium ones, though I've never bought in bulk so don't know the availability.
