need advice

i broke my clutch cable today and need some feedback on cables

the cable that broke was a steel strand cable it looks like anyway have not removed it yet but looks to be steel cable.

i found a hevy duty nylon line one on e-bay for 14.99 shipped
it is a tusk brand cable
are these nylon cables any good?

thanks for the help

i never used a nylon but i cant see how it would be stronger than steel

keep those cables lubed and clean and they will never break.

I think it means it is nylon lined but the cable is still stranded steel. The housing is lined with nylon to help the cable slide.

should be fine bud. just make sure you lubricate it and keep it clean.

I am absolutely positive that is a steel cable with and nylon liner. A nylon cable would never last. Not even bicycle cables are anything but braided steel and they don't see near the abuse an ATV cable would. That cable will be fine.

yes , best part of that statement is " lubricate it " should be done before and after you go riding , especially in sandy or muddy conditions , use a good graphite based lube , and clean that bastard before you lube it , nothing worse than spraying lube on caked up cables , it just makes the crap stick .

keep it lubed.. i spray wd40 down the cable from the lever side and stop when i see it run out at the bottom.
