[RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

I've had the Park for ages, and my recent Pedro's kit purchase has a cutter. Bike shops use separate tools for housing and inner wire, but I use one cutter for both. The trick when cutting housing is to put a piece of scrap wire in the end to keep the hole round and cut. Then grab a flat file

Re: [RBW] Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

I use Park’s cable cutter for cables, but I prefer using a Dremel and a small cutting wheel for the housing. The Park cutter kind of munches up the housings; a cutting wheel makes a nice, straight, flat cut. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Aug 8, 2017,

[RBW] Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

I've been using a cheapo tool to cut cables and housing forever, but it's always a clunky process that results in frayed cables and/or frustration. I hate cutting housing so much that I just left my housing way too long when I recently changed my shifters. Just did a quick search to see what's

Re: [RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

Hi Joe, I recommend getting separate cutters for both housing and cables. Get a rotary tool for cutting the housing and a good cable cutter for cables. Using a typical cable cutter closes the metal casing of the housing and does not leave a square edge. In addition, you will need a awl to reopen

[RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

For cables I use Hozan or Park, they both work well. For housing I use a Dremel with a cut off wheel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

I got my Cheviot-green 52 CLEM L (complete) today; a couple of interesting notes: It uses a 9-speed drivetrain instead of 8 from the first run, and the SunRace upside-down-backwards friction shifters are the higher-level series with a click or friction option on the left-supposed-to-be-right

[RBW] Re: Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

FWIW, master mechanics I know use the best cutters available (Park Pro and Felco in equal numbers) and still use a dental pick to round out the housing ends. I have a Dremel and love using it for many jobs. But too much time is wasted pulling it out, attaching the cutting wheel, plugging it

[RBW] Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

I'll repeat my tip 'cause I think it got missed: Cutting the housing (Park cutter) with a scrap piece of cable inside helps keep the end round. A dental pick to finish it is still a good idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

I use the Park and, as Eric pointed out, it does smash the ends. Really sturdy with nice crimpers for cable ends. It helps to rotate them while cutting but I still end up reopening the ends with an awl. I'm sure an ice pick or any similar tool will do. John -- You received this message
