Help

I'm sure that I saw something on here back in the days of STW1, possibly by Ben at Kinetics, that allowed gear cables to be split so that a bike could be fitted with a [url= http://www.sandsmachine.com/spec_ssc.htm ]S&S Coupling[/url]

Does anyone know anything about them? I'm thinking that they could be useful for running a height adjustable post with a remote.

An S&S coupling allows a bike frame to be split in half for transport. The fittings I'm thinking of allowed the gear (and brake) cables to be split and reattached.

I'm worried that I may have imaganied them now.

It's a self sealing connector.

Pretty standard stuff on a lot of hydrolic machinery.

singlespeedstu, oneoneoneone
Thanks - That's what I was thinking of. I saw the break hoses £275.00!

racing_ralph Yes; It would mean that you could remove the seat post for cleaning and transport.

Looks like it's non-starter as both those couplings look like they need cable stops and exposed cables to work.

I don't know, no, I can't sorry.

I have no idea what all that stuff means. My mate does all that, I just make the pretty pictures and stuff.

I learned how to do Swap Image Restore the other day. I was sooo excited!

My mate din't think it was a big deal. 🙁
