[rebel-builders] control cable turnbuckles
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:35 pm
One turnbuckle in each control system run will give the much needed
adjustment your are going to need. Although two might give more adjustment
it is also another point to have fail. Use the long ones instead of the
short ones, if you feel you need a lot of adjustment.
I have a tool made for the job of setting the Cable Thimbles (AN100)(Spruce
Pg 136). The tool clamps the thimble in 3 places, with the cable wrapped
around the thimble it holds (wedges) the cable to it on the two flats then
pushes he cable snug at the radius area to hold the cable snug while you
crimp the NICO Sleeve MS51844. Sorry, no I do not have a source on the
tool.

Guys,
Quick questions:
1)Do you think it's worth having at least two turnbuckles in each control
system run to give more flexibility in adjusting tension?
and...
2)Any tips/tricks on getting the cables tight prior to installing the last
turnbuckle/nicropress sleave combination? There is not much 'throw' or
'adjustment' on the turnbuckles, so I am worried I won't be able to get
things tight.
Thanks, -Jason
