SCHWINN STING-RAY KRATE 24½" HURET BICYCLE SPEEDOMETER BIKE SPEEDO DRIVE CABLE

Description

(This is a new auction, not a relisting!)
This
is an extremely nice (though
not perfect
) clean used example of a 24½" Schwinn-Approved Huret speedometer cable, part number 08 470, just what you need for Huret-built Schwinn Approved or Sting-Ray speedometer installations on either Schwinn Krates or 27" lightweight 10-speeds. Yes, it does fit bike sizes in between, such as with 24" or 26" front wheels, although it is probably too long for a 20" Sting-Ray installation. (See my other listings for a 22½" Sting-Ray or Manta-Ray cable, in an auction scheduled to end 15 minutes before this one.)
This is intended to fit the dropped front axle of a 16" Krate wheel, which is 2" further away from the handlebars than that of a 20" Sting-Ray.
This is compatible with all Huret-manufactured Schwinn Approved speedometers (usually stamped "MADE IN FRANCE" on the back), as well as Huret's own brand of speedometers. It does not fit the large, round, 3"-diameter Stewart-Warner speedometers.
This is in extremely good used condition with no age discoloration. There is
one gap in the plastic coating
about 1¼" from the bottom end, although the steel casing remains intact, it's under the external wire brace and normal operation is not affected. It's definitely not obvious; photos 3 & 4 show the gap from opposite sides. Both collars are clean and securely attached, t
he cable
flexes well, uncoils smoothly and works
fine.
CAUTION:
Please be sure that your speedometer head is turning freely before installing this cable.
Bicycle speedometer cables usually break because the speedometer head has seized up from years of storage.
Replacing the cable will
not
free up the speedo head;
it will simply break the new cable as soon as you start pedaling. To check that your speedometer head is able to turn properly, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver in the back of the speedo head (where the cable goes in), and be sure that the square-holed inner barrel of the speedometer head can turn freely before connecting this cable.
NOTES:
Please see notes above on its condition. The core has been cleaned and lubricated.
This is not for Stewart-Warner speedometers.
This is a Huret speedometer part.
