Creaking

Paulkingk

Can anyone recommend a set of gear cables for my full sus frame the Jagwire cables i purchased make loads of noise in the cable stops, pulled all the cables out 2 weeks ago and greased the ends and stops but then two weeks down the line the noises are coming back.

Would like to be able to get the cables in blue.

Whatare these noises? Are the cables cut to the right lengths?

Which Jagwire cables are these?
I've recently fitted the Jagwire Ripcord set to mine and so far been very impressed with them. This is the first time I've used a sealed cable system and it was very easy to fit and the inner cable is very smooth.

One thought, did you open up the ends of the cable outer after cutting them as your cutters may have flattened them slightly?

Yeah they are ripcords been fine for about 6 months then the noises started. and yeah opened the cable end up

I've had this problem its not the actual cable but the end ferrels in the lever or frame, I did the same as you greased them.

All I do now is squirt a little lube on them after each wash and it stops it.

Only other thing I did was try them with no ferrels which worked but I was worried about too much water entering the cable.
