TRADITIONAL Jumpy

[Jude Ephesus]

Thanks @OddJob and @BDC !

I didn’t take the shifter apart, but it looks to me like this end is soldered or crimped as well:

Cleaning up the hardware: degreased the past day, vinegar mix now.

The hardware was pretty rough

 

[OddJob]

The fixed end on the cable on the shifter needs to stay. Do you have a photo of the hub end / derailleur end of how the cable attacbes?

 

[Jude Ephesus]

So, getting into the 11th hour here and still running into some trouble on my mix n match parts from my inventory:

Bars…. Not gonna work. New, similar 7/8” bars on order:

The seat…. Is hurting me!! Not gonna work with hardware and seat post diameter:

 

[Jude Ephesus]

And @OddJob and @BDC , here’s my shifter cable and gear mechanism set up.

I think I’m just gonna wing it and paint the cable housings and see what happens!

I have one last coat of the white then will mask for the red and blue:

On a happier note….. 10 miles on this guy with the wife this morning around the lake!!!!

I can say that is the strangest cable / internal hub connection I've ever seen.

So does the cable follow the path of my red line on here? And then lock in to the slot and hole ? It's weird because that slot and hole looks like it's shaped for a 'button' type of end, like you would find on an mtb brake cable at the lever.

I'm so confused!

Sorry Jude, I'm playing catchup but maybe can help. What is the hub please?

I'm so confused!

Thanks OJ: It’s actually way simple.

All I do to finish assembly is push the cable and threaded sleeve straight over the threaded post coming out of the mechanism.

I’ll post a pic in a few.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

It’s actually easy-peazy.

The stopper on the end just slides in the sleeve, and the just screws right on to the post:

Connected

I saw OJ asked the question, I have this picture of one of mine.

But, it doesn't really explain how it goes together.

 

[OddJob]

Okay, I guess I get that now. But this really throws me off!

When the cable pulls the arm, it pivots on that pin below your circle. The inner piece then pushes a rod in the center of the axle. The part you circled is pretty much just a window to see the movement. Not sure there's a reason for the slot.

 

[OddJob]

Yeah, viewing window makes sense now.

On the Sturmey hubs the chain and rod are called the indicator. If you line the edge of the rod with the end of the axle, you have second gear. Naturally you need the correct indicator for the axle you are using.

I don't know the Shimano S3, but I sure that window aids in adjusting the cable.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

How about….. anything out there for a longer 20mm seat post?

 

[BDC]

Total weirdness. I've had brake cables with stops both ends - Shimano and SRAM - but the idea is you cut the one off you don't need.

Well, I want to cut one end off, slide on a new cable housing, then put an end back on…. Not sure where to get then end piece or how to reattach the one I have.

I’m just gonna leave good enough alone. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it right if I snip one end.
