Replacing the nut and or cable

Some of my nuts have a worn out cable and need fixed. Some have a worn out nut but the cable is fine. Can rock and resole do this?

I'd be curious about this too. I'm trying to do some trad again and all my gear is from BITD. Wired Bliss can resling the cams, but they won't recable the nuts. I guess I could just buy a swager, but that seems like a lot of work. Maybe the repair shop next to RnR? Anybody in the neighborhood willing to ask?

Sure - I'll do it for $8/nut.
I will even anodize them with the new cables and they might look like these spadout.com/p/abc-huevos/# when done

Great! What's the number for Rock n Resole?

If the aforementioned repair shops aren't interested, you could always just bring a nut tool up any route on the wind tower. you'll have an entire new set in no time!

just use 1" webbing and water knots...much cheaper and you can do it yourself.

I do this all the time - replacing them with stainless cable (which is usually slightly weaker BTW). Typically, they're used for leaving as fixed anchors, and they do a great job at lasting long term in the rain forest that I climb in. It is also helpful to drill the holes out (in larger sizes) to allow for a fatter cable. Of course you don't have to do that with the old style nuts that required perlon slings.

As long as you know exactly what you're doing with swaging, and have a good source for quality cable and ferrules (swage), it is a very economical alternative.
