  1. There are several brands on the market for splitting cables, which is very useful for people that have bikes with S&S couplers and disassemble the bike frequently but don't want to mess with the f/r derailleurs and rear brake cable.

    The problem is that a set of these is quite expensive: at least $30. These items can't cost more than a few $$ to manufacturer.

    Anyone know of a different solution that might be in the $10-15-20 range? It's that buying a few sets of these and backup sets ends up running well over $100, and that's just ridiculous. Ok, paying the creative design fee once is enough. But 4 times is too much.

    ie, from S&S's site

    Loose Screws can beat that price: Cable Connectors for Folding or Coupled Bicycles

  3. But those only include derailleur splitters. For exampel, DaVinci include brake and two derailleur for $32.
