How do you stop steel cable from fraying?

Just dip the end of the cable into a tube of superglue a few times and let it dry. Just make sure you do not have a drop formed at the end so you can easily slide it in and out of the housing. Of course, dip it in glue before insertion into the housing.


Regarding this, how do you stop wires from fraying?

Electrical tape isn't pretty, but it's generally cheap. You can take your time neatly wrapping the cable to reinforce it, but the best way to prevent any more damage is to wrap the split or fraying part of the cable several times with electrical tape, then work your way out from that spot.

How do you fix a broken charger cord?

Because there are bare wires, unplug the charger from the wall first, so there isn't any power, and then remove the plug from your computer or phone. Twist your wires together well and neaten them. Wrap everything in black electrical tape (or equivalent) so the wires can't move and none are exposed.

How do you cut gear cable on a bike?
