Mike,
thanks a lot for your help. Found out they sent me the wrong one---according to Ed the earlier version Scrambler's had a shorter amount of cable sticking out the brake switch end. Not having a lot of luck with David Silver Spares thus far. I hope it gets better soon.

I was also sent the shorter CL72 cable a while back and returned it for the last correct CL77 cable he had.

Rear brake cables for the CL77 have become hard to find. Most of the other cables are being re-popped but so far I have not seen rear brake cables. I think Ohio Cycle has some?

I am having a hard time getting in touch with them, they are sporadic at best. How are they with returns? Would I have to pay shipping since this is their mistake? He had the year of my bike so I would guess they should have known.

David Silver Spares.

It is the only place I could find one at all.

I got mine from classichondarestoration.com
He exchanged the one he sent me for his last CL77 cable.

yeah, Tim told me he didn't have any left and was going to start producing all of the cables soon. I really would like to get this bike done and waiting for cables is not fun.
