Anyone know what the little things that sit at the end of the cable on the dropper are called, or even better where to buy more?

I’d call them easy to lose as you’re the second person in 2 days that needs one!

This is the bit with the grub screw that goes in the lever? The other end is fixed (soldered?) onto the cable isn’t it?

It be a barrel cable clamp.
Loads on eBay or motorcycle shop.
Probs one for a throttle cable would fit?

Something like this.

Or make one from a mult-block/ plug socket with a hacksaw/dremel if urgent.

FYI I couldn’t really say for certain what size it was so I ended up ordering some Shimano / Pro Koryak *things* 5 for a tenner. Should last me the life of the thing.

I don’t know why they’re so hard to find it seems loads of generic droppers use the same thing and they don’t last long before that get a bit rusty which makes the lever action a bit shit.
