Stavros94 Posted May 3, 2021 Share I was just charged 140 for two shift cables by a bike shop near me I’ll call it X. I still have to fit them my self ???? feeling shafted. I always get charged 30 to 35 rand ???? Thoughts. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted May 3, 2021 Share hmmm...anywhere from R30 to R100 or more. Depends on the cable...Sunrace from Sportsmans Whorehouse, R20..>Will they work? Yes. Will they fell good? Maybe. Will they last? MaybeXTR shift cables...a LOAD more. Are they worth it? No, not IMO. But i work on my bike often enough that if my shifting goes to **** i can work around it.So i guess the short answer is...you probably weren't ripped a new one at all.

Frosty Posted May 3, 2021 Share R40 for a rear (shift) cable, is what I paid a few months back. Didn’t think twice about the cost. Edit: didn’t think twice Edited May 4, 2021 by Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Posted May 4, 2021 Share You need to add the casing into the equation. Maybe the better option is buy in bulk and sell them at cost to your friends. R100 for a cable+casing seems to me to be excessive. Edited May 4, 2021 by NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
