What a great video. Have now got bikes with internal routing and looking forward to having a go replacing the gear cables soon. Thanks for the instruction.

Excellent! We like to hear that someone's looking forward to doing a repair rather than dreading it! Thanks for your comment. 🙏

A great video! I have a cannondale systemsix and that has full cabling throughout the frame (inner and outer cable). Love the hack with the electrical tape. My only worry is cutting the outer to length correctly as the handle bars are also internally routed so even after getting out of the frame I still have the handlebars to go 😂 But again a great video. 2024 will be the year I won’t be scared to maintain my bike

Thank you for the support! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the video and found the electrical tape hack useful. Yeah, you will definitely need to cut your outer a bit longer to also include the handlebars. I'm excited for you to conquer your bike maintenance fears in 2024!💪🙂

Wonder if you can do same trick electricians use: a thin cotton thread and a vacuum. Then use that cotton thread to pull cables.

Hi! I have a Huffy 26’ Trail Runner and my spring shock came unloose. Do you have any videos on spring shock replacement?

@cyclemaintenanceacademy Жыл бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Currently, we don't have a video specifically covering the adjustment/ replacement of the spring shock. However, I appreciate your suggestion, and I will definitely look into it. It's possible that we might create a video on this topic in the near future. In the meantime, if you need help with your spring shock, I suggest reaching out to your local bike shop. They should be able to assist you further.

My internal routed inner cable has been removed. Both entry and exit holes are on the side of the frame. There is no outer running through the frame. Which would be the way to thread the inner and retrieve it at the other end?

Hi Jay. Sounds like you're in a bit of a trouble. There's no easy way here. Turn the bike sideways and let the gravity help you. Fit the cable in one hole and push towards the other one. If you're patient enough you will eventually be able to see the cable near the other hole (some kind of torch will be useful). You can then hopefully grab the cable using thin pliers. Let me know how you got on and I hope you will be succesful. If you're not getting anywhere and the level of frustration is rising then sock it up and use a local bike shop. They have experience which is the key in these kind of situations.
