Andy's Proflex 856

[Joe*Pro]

This is what mine look like, and in need of new outers it seems, not bad for 25 years.

Still original Gore cables?

 

[mk one]

So I was aware this could be an issue, I have some cable ends with extended narrow bits on from Jagwire which I *think* should work. I really should whip them out and see later on... I don't have the rear hanger bit so it will need to be Vs which is okay. Alternatives are then either ful length outers or Maguras....


That's much appreciated thank you

I might still have the rear hanger from my 856, will have a hunt round but don't get your hopes up just yet

Still original Gore cables?

Yep. Working fine as well, despite a bit of fraying

Would these work? I’m not sure…

Maybe check with @kokies

Good news: Quick check confirms I'm good with my cable ends... Not as elegant as Joe*Pro's originals but will certainly function fine.

Bed news: I bought the wrong size front mech... Doh.

I’ve bought the wrong size front as well… it is a harrowing experience isn’t it.

Brilliant! Ferrule availability has been a problem in the ProFlex community since day 1. Great find, Andy!

And they have gold ones like the brass originals
