I use mason line, the yellow twine like the cement guys use. Most home builders supply big box stores has it.

The folks at Goodrich have a string kit. George L's used to offer a replacement string. See Bill Ferguson.

Otherwise, I'd be glad to send you a piece of Zipline string...it's what we use for windshield removal sometimes.

It's smaller, but tougher than you can imagine...tougher than the original string...even hard to cut off a piece. I can promise you it'll never break.

Lemme know about what length you need and I'll send it to you n/c if you want it. JO.

String for Goodrich 120 pedal

I use venetian blind cord. I used to use mason's cord,but prefer the venetian blind cord because it's a larger diameter. My venetian blind cords were. too long anyway,so I lost nothing.

Plain old nylon or poly chord. Available in different tinsel strength. I also use it for fishing bank poles or throw lines. It holds up for many years on a pedal.

I use flat, braided (and waxed) lacing cord, since I always have a roll lying around. But a plain ol' shoestring also does a pretty good job! You can use either the flat or round ones, depending on your preference, and pedal. ;-)
