I have classic sturmy archer 3 speed trigger with a snapped cable. Unfortunaly, these aparently need special cables (endings) http://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/classic-trigger
Do I need to replace the cable exactly with such one again (It's really expensive by now for a simple cable) or is there a fitting alternative or trick to avoid spending 50$ for a simple unprotected steel cable? Does anyone have any experience with that?
If I was on a budget I'd go for the combination of the following two products (I'm not affiliated with this particular webshop):
Elvedes: 6451-3M - derailleur cable, €1.15
TOM adjustment nipple Sturmey Archer - adjustment nipple, €1.25
It doesn't look as nice as the original, still remains functional.
For US customers:
Cable anchor - $4.25
The cable itself still needs to be found.
