An excellent, and reliable method that I use to repair or make brake/shifting cables for bicycles and more, as well as repair throttle cables which the crimped end has pulled off/fallen off. SUPER STRONG if done as shown in this video. Some people like to “Soft Solder/Low Temperature Solder” cable ends by leaving the steel wire spread out after it is inserted into the cable end, but once they solder the end, they usually cut or grind away the flared out cable end making the connector flush. By doing that, they defeated the purpose of having the wire spread out to add strength and prevent it from pulling through the hole in the cable end. Soldering is not as strong as brazing!

The first video that does it the correct way. I have to use zinc alloy to match my previous broken cable end.
Not too many cable ends are that size and shape. Not on bicycles anyway
Fill that hole with araldite
Superglue the cable in the hole with added baking soda .sets like carbon steel never comes undone .
thanks mister, even l did it,, you have blow all of these kind of videos away.
u can buy a solder pot on amazon for 20 bucks now
Great video very helpful. Love the set up.
I realize that this video has been around for quite some time but I thought it'd be a good place to ask since you stated that you worked on refrigeration units or at least that's what I thought I heard. My nephew in law wants me to replace a compressor in their stand alone freezer and I've never done it before. I think all I basically need is some brazing rod and a vacuum unit to vacuum the system and some refrigerant to refill. I guess my question is can I braze the lines with a propane torch or do I need oxygen acetylene? What else special would I need to do this job?
Any help would be appreciated 👍
Great Video, but one correction, graphite is used in SOME Nuclear reactors as a moderator to slow down neutrons as to promote fission with U235. You DO not want any part of your reactor to be normally hotter than about 1200 Deg C FUel will melt at about 2100Deg C.. Never the less, graphite is good for high heat applications.
Where did you find the carbon rod again?
Great Video !!! If it means anything Lawn Mowers use 1/16" Stainless steel cable, Just too bad the manufacturers refuse to use stainless steel cable.
So is this stainless steel cable stronger than the aftermarket throttle cables?
Sweet happened to need to learn this for a project and to get an EnM vid is a score, awesome to see where you started
Honda. fixed.. accelerator cable.. cheers.. one thing tho.. no flux needed.? newbee. still learning.
The best method I have watched . Only 7 years late
Frycase?
Here i am years later and still you have a great way of making a end.
This works for lawnmower cables. Just need solder because less stress but if need be use sliver.
I appreciate the info, but who has all the things laying around to do this with. By the time I get all these tools to do the job, wouldn't it be cheaper and less hassle to just buy a new one? Your outcome with this procedure is great tho!
Can you describe where you got the carbon rod? I didn't understand what kind of battery you referred to.
Sir your equipments to make this cable are more expensive than cost of new cable.
