Ok, So, now we're going to replace the cables and housing that were damaged on our bike.
First, I'm going to start by routing the shift cable through the shifter. So I removed my
little cable change port and, I'm going to look through, make sure that I have the cable
going through there the right way. So I took of this little adjuster to let some more light
in there, because there's a very distinct little bright hole that I'm trying to see.
And if I get my eye at a certain angle, sort of sighting straight down, I can see that
hole, so. I spotted the hole, and now I'm going to check to see if I actually got it,
got everything in the right place, by shifting this through the gears, and seeing if it actually,
consistently, pulls and releases this cable. So it looks like my shifter does pull and
release cable correctly, and I did everything right. We can see as I push this out, this
actually comes out considerably easier than my crimp cable. Meaning that part of the reason
why that cable was having such a hard time coming out is because there's crimp at the
top. So I put a little cable change cover back on, which is good for dropping on the
floor and losing forever. Let's pretend I put it back on, and I'll find it after we're
done with this segment.
