ByronH Posted August 11, 2014 Share Hi All The wiring on my Shimano Flight Deck SC6500 (2002 model) was cut when it was removed from the old bike. I have just been informed by my LBS that they will be unavailable to repair, or replace, the wiring as it is so old. So i have been tasked to find a new wiring kit for it. Does anyone know a possible stockist of such wiring kits, even if perhaps you have one? And is the LBS correct that the wiring cannot be repaired?

GreatGusto Posted August 11, 2014 Share Depending on where the cut is, it should be repairable. Even very thin wires can be rejoined if done properly. Place an ad in the classifieds - there might be someone with a spare part for you lying in a drawer somewhere. ByronH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exsanguinator Posted August 11, 2014 Share you only need some speaker wire and an electrical tester set on resistance But first I would look if you can see any niks or pinches in the cableand then start working your way up the cable to the cradle,testing for a continuity loopeverytime you cut a piece off just twist the wires together and test for continuity at the two cradle contactsor just cut near the cradle and near the sensor and solder a new piece of speaker wire in betweenI'm not familiar with how many wires this units got like cadence etc etc,but every sensor would have 2 wires so the above test just needs to be repeated Edited August 11, 2014 by exsanguinator ByronH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
