I absolutely am changing that cable tbh im just riding tf outta it till winter then Ima give her a full revamp

I just want her rideable for the season also my wheel is slightly out of true. Don't get me wrong I dont need it perfect thats what over the winter is for but she is my only bike and 1st since a kid so want her decent if that makes sense
the loctite for that particular spot should be the BLUE stuff, never the red or green threadlocker type..
loctite 243 Blue.
it's not cheap.
shop around online.
it only takes a drop to work, and the threads must be clean before application.
