Unfortunately the cables that @momo608 recommended are for modern road or mountain bike shifters and the rounded ends will not fit the vintage Schwinn shifters without extensive filing, The Schwinn Single and Twin-Stik shifters were similar to Huret shifters and require Huret cables using much thinner "lolipop" ends. Here you will find NOS Huret cables that will fit with no modification: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Huret-shifting-cables-63-Jubelee-Schwinn-Raleigh-/160354414190

Note that is a package of 10 cables for $12 (including shipping), so they are only $1.20 each.

Its hard finding a good pic of the end but the huret i can definitely see. Ive been a little skiddish around ebay for a while got burned a few times after years of no problems. But the price is right thanks for the leads!

10 for 12 for something not made in taiwan is good for me

Unfortunately that cable is only 49" long, which will only work for the front derailleur on a Suburban or other 27" wheel lightweights. Not to mention it is $7 for one when you can get 10 of the longer 63" cables that will fit both front and rear derailleurs for only $12.

Slight filing, like 10 seconds worth, but yours was the better suggestion. just bought some myself.

BTW, the cables I suggested are stainless

Give it time,the bikes will come . That is a great deal on the cables,hang the spares on a nail and look for bikes to use them on .

For those wanting to stock up the same seller has a package of 20 for $20 (including shipping), which is only a buck a cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Huret-shifting-cables-70s-Jubelee-Schwinn-Raleigh-/161433462885
