Hi
Does anyone know a supplier of traditional, black, brake cable housing - with the longitudinal ribs?
I’ve found someone via eBay but they only sell white
Thanks for your help
Traditional ribbed cable housing
Re: Traditional ribbed cable housing
I can't help you with a supplier. About 20 years ago someone came into our LBS while I worked there, same request as yours as he was doing a full (rechome etc) renovation of a Raleigh chopper (he was a member of the Chopper Club). We didn't have any, I asked him what sort of price it would now (then) cost (being unavailable), he said if I remember correctly £40, even if my memory on price is wrong, when he gave the price, I asked if that was per cable or for a complete workshop roll, he said per cable.....

There may be more. "Vintage brake cable" seems a useful ebay search term.

For what it's worth, I've bought a few things from that seller (Bankrupt Bike Parts) and the goods have been exactly as described. I just wish they'd learn how to disengage the CAPS LOCK KEY on their keyboard.

Thanks to all for the very useful replies.
Likewise I have used this supplier before.
