1.68mm ID Etched PTFE (14 AWG Bondable PTFE) Pushrod Outer Tube
Description
This tubing is specially etched on the outside, making it easily bondable using many adhesives, thin CA being probably the best. Provides the lightest, easiest, most friction-free pushrod installations possible.
Can be stretched to 2 times the original length to reduce the weight per meter, and tune the inside diameter to be a perfect fit for the inner pushrod. Sold by the meter. Enter a quantity of 3 for a 3m roll.

These are perfect for housing your pushrods. Neal and the Hyperflight team are super responsive and quick to ship out the order.
If you are trying to fit new brake or gear cables to your road bike and the cables are internally routed then this product is the perfect dimensions to use as a guide / straw.
Excellent product, Item as described, fast shipping and delivery (to Croatia… now EU member). Stretching really easily and adjusting to desirable wire diameter. I prefer to oil the wire before inserting in tight stretched tube.
Great product. Very easy to use. Had slight problem with initial adhesion, and as usual turned out to be Pilot Error...I needed to wipe down the surface with Isopropl C2H5OH. Keep curves smooth and bore free of grit and/or adhesive and they work very well.
Stretched this tube to fit a smaller size of Carbon/Boron rod. To be fair this is the first time I have used these tubes and I had some problems during the stretching. You need to make sure that you complete the stretch on the first attempt as pointed out in the PDF.
An excellent product and by far the easiest way to instal lightweight snakes.
Slide a wire inner into the tubing to allow the tubing to take up the shape of the fuselage between the servo and the control horn. Just add a few drops of cyano to the outside of the tubing to secure. The result is a virtual frictionless control run..
