Just an FYI-If you have not done so already, pull the cable from the sheath (it slips out of what would be the tire end) and clean and lube it with some good grease, then slide it back into the sheath. China cables, on the whole, come virtually greaseless and/or with a haze of corrosion on them just from sitting. This has caused many premature speedo cable failures in the past with members here. Plus it will make your speedo needle smooth as silk.
