Switching cable

[boy in a kilt]

Umm. I'm not sure why. It should slide right on like it was designed to go there.

Is the cable too short?

nope..it just kept getting stuck just past the brake lever on the edge...maybe it was the plug in the bar end ...

sounds like you've solved your own problem.

ta da!
I did it....DH came in to help...he hasn't changed a cable for 20 years...



I think my cables might be a little short....according to the Park website...they don't come into the lever or the brake at a straight angel...but a curve...

Here...let's see if photobooth will help....
yes...although the angle isn't helpful...they are long enough to turn the wheel...

Good job. I knew you would work it out.

It's not your cables that are short, it's your housings. Looks like they could stand another inch or so. But, as long as everything works right, let it be.

For future reference, cables work better when they make long, smooth curves and come into things with as little angle as possible.

aren't the cables inside the housing?
