Re: Tsubaki KabelSchlepp MicroTrack Cable Chain/Carriers for Sale

I forgot to mention, for those that need custom lengths, it can be done. 

I have about 30ft of this stuff, so 20" is not a set size, it just so happens that is all that is needed for a SD2/3/4 build, but if you need more, or less, it's doable, just let me know the size you need.

Re: Tsubaki KabelSchlepp MicroTrack Cable Chain/Carriers for Sale

I PM'd you on this with additional information, however, I just noticed you mentioned that you plan on painting it. 

Couple of things about that:
1.  This carrier is made of some type of Nylon, so I'm not sure how well paint will stick to it.
2.  Paint will probably affect the smoothness of the cable.  Right now, the links move very smooth, but the tolerances are minimal to prevent sagging, so adding a layer of paint may not be the best thing to do with this cable, unless it's applied only on the external, non-contact surfaces.  If paint gets between the links, it won't work well.

you take liquid cool aid and soak the nylon item in it red coolaid seems to work best or you can also use rit dye
