This unit is intended to fit into a top-tube cable stop and provides a fingertip adjustment for your rear brake. This is very desirable on drop-bar conversions of bicycles originally built for upright bars (upright-bar brake levers usually incorporate a barrel adjuster, while drop-bar levers do not.
Choose between male (external) or female (internal) thread. Quick and easy way to add an adjustable threaded receiver fitting to bare cable (sold separately). Suspend lighting, signs and other fixtures vertically.
Adjusters have a unique ball bearing push-button feature with integrated side exit for easy height adjustments. Lightweight, self-locking and reusable. Holes at top and on the side allow bare cable to pass thru. Warning: Use only on bare cable (wire rope) in dry, low-humidity, indoor locations. Do not use on painted or coated cable. Suspension of objects at angles reduces the safe working load limits. Body is 1' long x 0.354' diameter.
Bottom of male adjuster has 10-32 external threading x 5/16' long. Cable passes thru the top and exists out the side. No special tools or setting keys required. Reliable built-in 5 to 1 safety factor.
Nickel plated brass and/or steel material. Packaged 200 per bag.
Both mask a complexity inherent in tensile architecture. The structure in place, itself evidence of science and careful planning, stands to remind us of what can be achieved with the intelligent use of cables and end fittings working together in tension. Be it a catenary lighting system, a tensioned fabric roof, a simple yet elegant cable stayed bridge or a cable net, all depend on cables as the primary load carrying structure.The results are structures of unique depth and openness, with large spans made possible by balancing the need for reduced self weight, with the application of minimalist and efficient high tensile cable tendons.
This is lightweight tensile architecture and a Ronstan passion. Specific Features. Highest load capacity of Ronstan’s Structural Carbon Steel Rods reducing the mass of your structure with flow on benefits in transport and construction costs. Fixed length cable of highest load capacity. Galfan coated carbon steel (inner round wires heavy galvanized). Pre-stretched and manufactured to a nominated design load.
Socketed end jaw fittings. Outer strands fully locked and profiled for highest cross sectional area, load capacity and corrosion resistance. High modulus of elasticity.
High resistance to deformation and surface pressure.
