Anybody got a spare throttle tube knocking around they want to part with?
I don't need the grip.
I live in Copenhagen so postage from EU/UK is preferable.
thank you.

Is there other bikes with more easily obtainable spares that use the same pattern throttle tube?
I have found a throttle tube for the whole GT range online, but it is expensive and includes the grip. So I'd like to find something else.

I have one on the bench here, but it's the whole assembly. Tube, grip, housing, switches and electrical pigtail. I'd rather not part it out. I think just finding the tube is a long shot.

It looks like this is my best bet

Has anybody tried to mend a broken throttle tube? Like melt or glue the flange end to a piece of PVC tube or similar.
Another option is to find a tube from an MX bike with the same flange pattern. They seem to be everywhere. Anybody know one that would fit?
