A little crazy but all in all a great lessons at each tool. Schools these days don't focus enough on the WHYs of what they are teaching. Calvin tells WHY and shows HOW for each tool.
Here's a tip. Use CA glue AKA super glue on the fresh cut cable ends and ditch those crimp ends. No fraying and you can use regular wire cutters once the wire is glued. You can remove cables from deraileur without any hassles in the future.
Haha you are so great. Without your help I wouldn't have been able to build my bike at such a low cost with such a good quality. Do you mind me having a little sticker of you at my bike?
What is the preferred way to cut the struts? Namely, I don't want to bend them as much as I should to bring the fender at correct distance from the tire. I also don't want to drill through the plastic caps (the ends of the struts are inserted into them) that are attached on the fender so that the struts would pass through them and thus stay straight.
Side cutters typically work better on brake housing because one side goes through a winding and you only cut in one spot. It typically does not squish the housing as much.
On cable brake housing does Park recommend filing the end of the cable flat after cutting, or do you just through a ferrule end cap on and call it done?
This was far, *far* more interesting than it had any right to be. Thanks Calvin. As an aside, I normally cut housing (brake or gear) with my cable cutters, to get that nice clean cut. Any downside?
Thats not suggested. The CN-10 will crush the hose slightly. Making hit harder to open up. Something with a thinner blade like our HBT-1 is a better solution.
Hey Calvin, i have a question, my fork has no mounting bolts, how can i dissasemble it? And it makes a weird loud sound when it decompresses. If you could help me it would mean a lot! Good luck, be careful!
The HBT-1has a built in cutter- www.parktool.com/product/hydraulic-barb-tool-hbt-1 If it is plastic tubing the CN-10 also works well. The kevlar wrapped housing however does not cut as well with the CN-10.
Two tips: When cutting break or shift cable wrap the cut point with electricians tape. It prevents cable fray and if your cutting a small amount of cable off, you won’t get shrapnel spray. 2nd tip. Instead of cable ends, I like using shrink wrap.
@@newttella1043 Jagwire uses stranded design for both brakes and shift that's "compressionless". Confused me when I first had to change my housing, thought they put the wrong housing stock!
I'm a big fan of your tools and of your RUclips channel. Also, I get that a not so insignificant role of the channel is to advertise and, in effect, sell Park Tools products, HOWEVER- your CN10 cutters have a built in crimper so placing the LP7 (utility pliers) as crimping pliers in this video is a bit far feched.
Thanks! This is Calvins "preferred" way and not the only way to do it. Another great option is the crimper on the NP-6. Plus of course the crimping option on the CN-10 like you stated.
@@parktool NP-6 crimper is my absolute fave. The only cooler crimper I've used is the Jagwire one with the weird 3-prong thing that looks like a lathe scroll chuck. Unfortunately I tried to actually cut cables with the cutter part and one of its jaws flew clean across the room when it broke. Definitely *not* an issue with the CN-10. My beef though: when I pull the CN-10 out and get it lined up to make a cut, I often make it *just barely* through before realizing that the spring clip which holds the handles together is flipped up and in the way, stopping the tool from closing completely. Usually this cuts cable fine but it can leave a weird shred of housing hanging on and gets worse as the tool wears. Any chance of a revision?
the best content this channel produces is calvin by himself
Scrap inner as a filler, had never thought of that before. Good man.

Always great information from Park Tool. Thanks Calvin.

Wonderful advise. You rock Calvin!

Great video! I always come away with useful info.
Bonjour , câble cutter , super , merci au-revoir à bientôt ✌
Would it be better to use the multi cable cutters on the single brake cable? Instead of side cutters?
Side cutters typically work better on brake housing because one side goes through a winding and you only cut in one spot. It typically does not squish the housing as much.
To avoid all those tiny metal pieces everywhere and missing pieces, I cut the cable over a strong magnet and voilà !
Great tip!
On cable brake housing does Park recommend filing the end of the cable flat after cutting, or do you just through a ferrule end cap on and call it done?
This depends on how bad it is. Filing can help quite a bit if the end is sharp and or not flat. But sometimes the cut is so great it is not needed.
More sound advice. Cheers guys.
Hey...I just found out I picked the right tool to cut my cable housing. 360 self high five.
"I'm ok, thanks for asking."
I think after self isolating for too long that Calvin is hearing voices in his head...
Great video though :)
🤣
Stooge.
Is that possible to trim a shift housing without cutting through the shift cable in it?
No..... not yet at least.
Thanks! Calvin
Love the NICA plate!!

If results good, then it is good, yes?
Can we use the CN10 to cut hydraulic hoses?
Thats not suggested. The CN-10 will crush the hose slightly. Making hit harder to open up. Something with a thinner blade like our HBT-1 is a better solution.

That’s actually a pretty good tip
Hey park tool tell me how to install 10x speed cassette in 7x speed cassette
I prefer the NP-6 cause it gets every job done like tightening screws, cutting cables and crimping endcaps, but unfortunately it was not mentioned:(
you know what, this video this video right here is going to make me buy 300 dollars worth of park tools
Why cant cable cutters be used for brake housing?
I use them for brake housing... takes maybe a little more work to clean up the cut but it definitely works.
Calvin Jhones rulzzz!!!!
Why crimp cable ends with the pliers? Don't the cable cutters have crimp ends on the back side of them?
CN-10 does include crimpers, but the LP-7 makes a nice pattern.
@@parktool Thanks Calvin! at least I hope it is
Why buy one tool when two will do?
@@chiefsilverback can't argue with that haha
What it feels like to get a Park tool cutter
never knew that shifter and brake housings were different designs
Cheap department store bikes only use brake cable housing, another reason they never shift properly.

Do not cut cables at home barefoot. I was doing this Barefoot and a piece of very fine metal got stuck in my foot. had to have it removed
Roundabout??
YES
If we put Calvin in charge of the COVID-19 response we could be back to group rides and racing by Memorial day... just sayin.

Trimming brake cable housing is ALWAYS a pain in the a*s #sigh.
Hi 👋
Nothing more annoying than cutting your hand on a Customes cable ties that he cut off at a sharp angle. 😡
Yea,yea yea. Gimmicks

Anyone noticing the toilet-paper-roller-looking new tool on the pegboard??
It is not new, in fact it is really old. It is the long-discontinued TP-2
@@trekkeruss wow Didn't know that before
Good eye, yes, the TP-2. Now it is the video team's Gaff tape holder.
