How to replace the cable on this shifter?
Subject says it really.
I want to replace the (inner) gear cable on my wife's bike. It looks like this: http://www.cginternet.net/twistgrip.html Any ideas? I'm afraid to tackle the two tiny screws as they're a bit rusty, and if that's not the correct approach, they're best left alone.

Squirt 'em with WD40 and leave overnight. Pick the _correct_ size and type (Posi-drive and Philips are _not_ the same type cross head) driver first time, and have at it - should be fine. Shaun aRe |

Make sure that the shifter is in its "initial" possition (twist it all the way forward). Remove the two screws, replace the cable ... replace the two screws. That Tourney stuff was really simple to replace cables on. Especially when compared to older gripshift. R |

Done it.
It was the two screws. Once I plucked up the courage to give them a good push with a #1 Philips all went well. Thanks everybody. Chris Pollard -- CG Internet café, Tagum City, Philippines http://www.cginternet.net |
