I was wondering how would you go about fixing this (ignore the failed duct tape fixes everything approach)?

looks like a cable housing - replace very inexpensive; it is not repairable.

What is that, a Peugeot? You just need a new cable & housing, like he said. You may as well do the whole bike, cable sets start under $10, if you have some decent cutters you're set.

Yeah it is a Peugeot, my brother found it in a storage unit. I guess I'll just shell out the 10 or so dollars for a new cable. Do I need a specific kind?

Do I need a specific kind?If you are going to just replace that cable most bike shops around here will cut 1 cable & housing, the way you need it, for $8-$10. Just remove it from the bike & take all of it into the bike shop with you. You can get cheap cable kits from Wal mart, Bell cable repair kit, under $10. I consider it low quality, but I use it when I need a low $ repair. Your bike probably needs road bike cables, rather than mountain bike cables. A lot of sets, like the Wal Mart Bell cable repair kit come set up for either. See how to cut housings & cable online in the repair guide at the top of the page, on You Tube, or here. |
