Hey,
Is anyone running one besides Mobycat? I have a mtb lever and just need a tandem rear brake cable to get started.

This is the model from Rubicon Express : RE Throttle I don't know if I necessarily like this one that much... I think the throttle shown on the MAXC site is much better... just my own opinion...

Too bad the the cool 5spd. knob I found in my Z parts has different threads I'm also dying to find a lever from that mtb. groupo Campagnolo put out a while ago. BTW Mobycat, I'm curious as to why you no longer use yours? I heard you removed it soon after the install.

I've thought about putting it back. It worked great, until... Was playing around with it (not offroad, just in a parking lot) and it went "snap". The cable broke right at the throttle wheel. Should've gotten better cable - the one I had was el cheapo.

Should've gotten better cable - the one I had was el cheapo. Ahh, I understand now. I wanted to decrease the action so I used two fender washers I had laying around with a thin nylon gear spacer of slightly less diameter to run the cable over and to provide a way to anchor it (one big sandwich). I'm going to eventually rig some sort of cable anchor on it and run a spacer wider than the cable for a set-up like the stock cam rollers have. This should allow the cable to ride over it and eliminate the stress. BTW thank you for the excellent write-up in the MAXC mod section!! I think I had that linked before I even got the X
Edit: I suck at spelling
