I have cycled round Trevelez, it is lovely, try pop into the shop in the main square that has all the funny hats. The riding round there is great, best I have ridden. You will have a ball round there. I would take a cable, just in case though.
Just seen a mates facebook status.... he's broken the gear cable on his road bike!!
Insane
to put that as your facebook status!!
Right, I'm repeating myself here, but what's this "Glad I had a spare so I could carry on with my ride?" It's not like a puncture or chain, if a gear cable snaps you just can't change that end's gears any more, but nothing stops you from riding on with the gears you still have.
I imagine it's in case the zombies attack and you need to snare a [i]conejo[/i] while avoiding the major cities.
Never needed to replace one on the trails but still carry one every time.
Better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it.
I always carry one. Broke two cables over the last 9yrs of riding.
only ever had one snap in 25+ years of mtb.
just adjusted the limit screw up to the middle sprocket and carried on with a 3 speed mtb.
naturally, i was 45 miles from home at the time (sods law etc).
guide knows best id say.
