find a bike shop and get a new one. It was around noon but the shops
were closed until 14.30 u. WTF? I really don't understand the opening
hours in Italy. Wish they had a RD cable vending machine ;-).

My rear derailleur cable vending machine is my saddle bag.

It also vends inner tubes, patches, a few 5mm screws and nuts, some zip
ties, and a few inches of baling wire.

I suppose I could save several ounces by leaving that stuff home, but it
gives me comfort to have it along.

The day you leave it at home everything will break. You know that, right?

cough I have the same problem.

I don't carry cables. I do have a small chunk of chain and two quick
links though.

cable paranoia starts to set in.
