I'm having trouble feeding the cable through the shifter itself since there is a tight bend. The cable goes in just a few mm and then stops. Did you have any trouble with that?
Yes, did you watch starting at about 2:20 into the video? This is where I had the problem. At that point into the video I show you how I got it through. That’s the only area I had a problem. It threaded through just fine after that.
@@BicycleRestorationMan Yes, but that is after the cable has gone through the shifter and it now needs to go into the housing. My problem was getting it through the bend inside the shifter. Mind you, mine is a different SRAM shifter. I finally got it by filing down the burrs on the cable-end, adding grease, and a making a pre-bend. Thanks for the video - I do appreciate the work.
@@ravraid got it, thanks for the info. Those housing ends can be a problem sometimes. Check out my other video on how to cut cables housing without mashing them. th-cam.com/video/-pI_IkjJai8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=so1HdmBNjw6ejBmF
