Ive limited this to a certain extent by using cable ties to restrict the movement of the outer cable but i will be fabricating a light bracket to hold the threaded section of the outer cable tight up to the bulkhead tube that can be readilly unbolted in case the cable needs to be adjusted or replaced.
Thank you very much, I'll make sure to find a system to secure this part too. But how do you attach the end of the cable to the pedal itself using this 6.5mm diam. hole?
