Goldenrod

I live for the CABE
By Ray Spangler

I was shrink wrapping an electrical wire when it occurred to me that this might solve our problem with the exhaust and throttle cable sawing at the frame’s paint. I bought a roll of wrap, and it was used on all bikes Al and I rebuilt from then on. We also used it to seal wire connections we have when wiring up a bi-light system. A hair dryer will not heat up enough to do the shrinking. Try and rotate the wire and heat one section at a time. Burning yourself is easy it this point. The length of the wrap is determined by where the cable passes the frame. My heat gun cost about $36. You want the constated adapter and run the gun at maxim heat.

concentrated adapter.
 
Very cool. I've thought that large diameter shrink wrap could mimic the celluloid skin on some TOC handlebars. I haven't tried it yet, but it's cheaper than nickel plate!
