Considering the Joshua F3 is a pretty old bike I'm saying replace the cable as it's likely to be fairly old as well

You mean the housing.

We need to know the type of rear derailieur and the number of speeds before we can make a honest judgement for you. The good news is that both Shimano AND SRAM make triggers that will work for your bike SRAM actually makes versions for BOTH companies derailieurs
