=EF=BB
Hi Kingsley,
Fwiw, my classic was using solids, in the original sheaths, and I found the f
riction to be very high and the action to be not smooth. The required bends w
ere too tight and ultimately resulted in a solid wire break from fatigue (lu
ckily it happened during run-up).
I decided to replace the solids and revert back to stranded using teflon-coa
ted bicycle brake cable and love it. Very smooth, and zero risk of fast thro
ttle action kinking. Im very happy that i changed back.
