I have the same problem. Weider Gym cable broke. Weider wants ~ $95 for EACH of four cables! Total ~ $ 400. The entire Gym cost about that much! The cables probably cost no more than $25 each but greedy Icon Fitness gets you on parts. Aftermarket third party sellers charge these exorbitant prices. I hate to throw away all this equipment (a ton of scrap iron?!) and buy a new for few hundred more over cost of replacement cables ... just because if Icon's extortionary prices for replacement parts. So here I am looking for sane alternatives. Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to check these out and post back. We need more threads like these to break Icon's sleazy pricing. KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE. |

A question to ask is whether products are designed for pepetitive bending around pulleys. https://www.e-rigging.com/one-eighth-X-200-foot-Coated-Galvanized-Cable?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6NrB0N2v1wIVx1t-Ch3V0w9lEAQYASABEgINYPD_BwE More generally: https://www.google.com/search?q=plastic+coated+steel+cable&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 |
