Wheels MFG Step Down Ferrules

Solution

Finally! A solution for an odd size derailleur cable mount on an old bike. Now I can use modern size housing with the old braze-ons.

Giving made in the USA a bad name.
Full of burrs and machine chips.
Loose and wobbly, then two snapped.

I only use yokozuna full cable housing for builds and need a part like this. From now on I am making my own. I wouldn't mind the 6$ if it wasn't garbage.

Pros: none

Cons: pretty much everything but the concept

Would Buy Again: No
Would Recommend: No

Does exactly what it is intended to do. Enables you to install ferrules on brake cable housings that enter internally routed frames.

Cons: None

Used on an older model schwinn that had very narrow brake cable holders. Not a common thing to need but was useful for my situation.

Pros: Well machined
