front derailleur cable touches rear tire.
This is on a Giant TCR composit with campy 10 speed components. How
would I move the cable away from the wheel... the front derailleur is a braze-on mount. Thanks.

Is it the wire leading up to the front derailleur or the end that comes out from the derailleur. ------------ Alex

I had not seen this hole and now that I am making correct use of it all is well! simple solution: look before leaping!

How is someone to learn how to take care of his own bike with "experts" like this spreading FUD? -- David L. Johnson Become MicroSoft-free forever. Ask me how.
