Gear cable ferrules

[peetee]

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.

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.

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.

Got mine from Wiggle some years ago, but I use these these days.

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.
