How to replace front shifter cable on Ergo levers
The shifter cable arrived yesterday. Now I need to replace the frayed
cable. Any clues on how? Web searches brought up instructions for rebuilding the lever; I don't want to rebuild the lever, I just want to replace the shift cable. Alas, it's really hard to see anything with these levers. Thanks, -- Joe Riel |

Web searches brought up instructions for rebuilding the lever; I don't want to rebuild the lever, I just want to replace the shift cable. Alas, it's really hard to see anything with these levers. Figured it out. Once I cut what was left of the frayed cable, it was pretty easy to see what to do. I can see why a cable-end that is too tight would be a bear to remove; removing the proper sized one wasn't trivial. Clamping the frame upside in the bike stand simplified the operation---now gravity is helping to pull the end out. Had to cut off all the frayed strands, then managed to dig the end out with a sharp awl. -- Joe Riel |

Thanks, Shift lever to low (inside front) gear. Roll the rubber cover back from the handlebar edge on the outside. You can see the cable carrier and the path clearly. Slip the wire up through the carrier into the cable housing. If it's not totally obvious, look at the right side. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
