Thanks Jon. I have that cable cutter as well. I think as Peter White called out the spade connector on the B&L lights are super small and need something that can crimp at 2.8mm which it doesn't seem most common crimpers can do that small. And the crimper Peter sells is $60 which is a lot to pay for a one time use function. Sounds like the backup might be to use needle nose pliers and hope for the best.
Would love to ride next weekend but i'll be fresh off the plane from tokyo and not going to be able to make it out unfortunately. Sounds like a fun ride and something we should do again ;) On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 9:36 AM, Surlyprof <jmcclu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dave, > > I've got a set of these that I use for cutting and crimping cables and > caps. https://www.rei.com/product/692846/park-tool-pro- > cablehousing-cutter?CAWELAID=120217890000885281&CAGPSPN= > pla&CAAGID=15877513840&CATCI=pla-183697505080&cm_mmc=PLA_ > Google|404_8992|6928460010|none|f6bcbd42-8f29-4ea3-b534- > c0e8f678e4a3|pla-183697505080&lsft=cm_mmc:PLA_Google_LIA| > 404_8992|6928460010|none|f6bcbd42-8f29-4ea3-b534- > c0e8f678e4a3|pla-183697505080&gclid=CP_LvI_9zs8CFQ90fgodeqUJvw > > Not sure how to get them to you.
