John, good guidance on internal gearing. One thing I wouldn’t do is use the round end of a 4mm Allen key to initially undo the RD cable nut, always use the short section Allen key first.

A suggestion is the use of a tandem gear cable to draw two sheathing lengths in series for mechanical derailleurs , (where applicable) .

I know, that little hack is great. Apparently, it was an idea Mr Shimano himself came up with, insisting that should work on all Shimano groupsets.

Great demonstration! After months of fretting and delaying, I changed both cables. Both went through easily to my relief. However, after tightening the cable and pinch bolts, none of the gears worked. There must be a lack of tension somewhere. Off to my local shop now to get some help.

Good luck with it, let us know how you get on. 👍

If i were to just change my handlebars with cable routing, would i do this from my brake levers i.e. detach the cables from my brake lever, route the cables through th3 handle bar and then reattach the cables to my brake levers?

@bikeman123 2 ай бұрын

My Giant Defy has cable inners fitted so the first method won't work. I pulled through dental floss with the old cable and used that to pull back the new cable.

@paulobarrameda7507 Жыл бұрын

what is the diameter of the inner cable lining used here? thanks!

@ribblevalleycyclist Жыл бұрын

Hi, This is standard Shimano gear cable, so the thickness of the inner is 1.2 mm. It must not be confused with Shimano brake cable, which is 1.6 mm. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching. Jon

@paulobarrameda7507 Жыл бұрын

@@ribblevalleycyclist so this means that a 2mm (internal diameter) ptfe tube is more than enough for the job. thank you!

@PJCC_BAISH 10 ай бұрын

So it's not a full cable housing that goes inside the frame?

@ribblevalleycyclist 10 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, it's not a simple one to answer, PatenTv. Each routing process is specific to each frame manufacturer. Some manufacturers route just the inner cable through the frame, as shown in this video, whilst others route both the inner and outer through the frame. To be honest though, the more common process is to only route the inner cable through the frame, and use a frame mounting kit (Example here - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353761789484 ) to but the cable outers to the frame.

My Giant Defy has inner cable liners within the frame but of course they wear at the bottom bracket guide and Giant dont seem to sell replacements.

@@bikeman123Standalone cable liners can be bought online, I've bought a few packs before made by a Chinese company named Risk. You'll also need a little heat from a lighter to flare the end you want to anchor at the cable housing stop.
