How are you trailer-riding folks setting up your throttles? What kind of cables are you using, and are your throttles trouble-free or not?
My throttle messed up a few days ago, and I've been going trying to figure it out.
First the bicycle cable part stretched out. I got home slowly, and went to re-adjust the throttle cable, and it broke on the bicycle side! I replaced the bicycle cable from another bike, but the outer sheath was binding up, so I used another cable sheath from my old trailer. When putting it back on the bike, it bound up too!
When I got it on finally, the cable has so much friction, that the return spring won't pull it back anymore, and I'm stuck at WOT.
I'm so upset, that I just want to scrap the ENTIRE throttle setup, and start from scratch. I can't believe that when I finally figure out the mechanical quirks, and get them right, the ONLY thing keeping me from riding is a stupid throttle cable, and it's been 3 days stuck at home!
