Grip Shifters

My only attempts at changing cables on these things were not successfull. Had the situation of only getting 5 of the 7 gears at any time and I put it down to old rusted cables. So time to change them to stainlesss steel so out came the manual- or the 1 sheet of rice paper that the rats had been chewing up and cables changed-

I could now get 3 gears out of the 7 so took them off and changed to an old pair of thumb shifters from an old bike. They may have only been 6 speed but I could now get 1 more gear than I could before I started.
