Look Ma, No Hands!
Hi there, I just acquired a 1959 schwinn speedster with a 2 speed manual shifter. The only problem is the shift lever is on the top bar and I want to move it to the handlebar. Do I need a special bendix cable or can I use any cable? Thanks for any help you can give me....John
 
Your best bet is to buy the proper cable. For that application you will probably need the longest they made, which is 60 inch. There are usually some available on ebay, but don't expect to find one real cheap.

I have a complete same vintage Monark Rocket with that set up. The Bendix assy. is the nicest part of the bike and functions well. $100 + shipping. Brad
