extending my cables
I need to get my bars higher, and I plan to use a stem raiser. I will
need to extend my cables, too. Here's the question- does anyone make something like a double-end cap, or a coupler, so I can add on a few more inches of cable housing? (I want to avoid buying a new set of cable housing). Thanks in advance. - Gary |

But you're right- I should do the job the right way. |

But you're right- I should do the job the right way. that's the way; one thing you can do is save the handlebar tape until after you tried your raised bar position for a bit and are happy with it ( just a few turn of electrical tape to keep the cables down )- sometimes a new position might seem initially beneficial but might lead to new problems |
