Reg Lizard Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Went out on a ride last night and suddenly the Sti shifter (dura ace 10spd) was struggling to move the front derailer (also d-a) to the big chain ring. Got home oiled both the shifter and the front derailer and both where moving freely on their own. So I was thinking maybe it is time to replace the gear cable. Any suggestions?

Don't Steven see this post otherwise it is 10 pages of warranty this and that about using non approved cables and casings. Get nokon's ( spelling) works great and adds to the bling factor of your bike
Reg Lizard Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 sammajoor, so you agree that it might be the cable?
AndreZA Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Doen eers die kabels. Kry XTR kabels. R50 ea sonder die housing (onthou om genuine Shimano housing te kry, en werk amazing.
Reg Lizard Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 Great ek gaan sommer nou-nou by die bikeshop in pop. Kan 'n ou die kabels los koop of kry jy hulle net in 'n stel (wil net weet voordat een of ander salesman my vir 'n ride probeer vat). Hoop regtig dis die probleem want ek het gisteraand glad nie lekker geslaap nie.
AndreZA Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Die XTR kabels is apart beskikbaar maar ook in 'n kit vir. Moenie dat hulle jou 'n gat in die kop praat en s? die ander goed is net so goed nie. Die XTR kabels is swart maar moet in 'n XTR sleeve kom. Maak seker jy kan die Shimano logo op die housing sien (dit is ingesmelt), anders is dit ook knock-offs. Moenie die ferrile/ferrules, watookal die goed genoem word wat hulle gebruik on die housing se kante mooi te maak, vergeet nie. Daar behoort cable end caps saam met die kabels te kom in die pakkie.
Sammajoor Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 sammajoor' date=' so you agree that it might be the cable?[/quote'] had the same problem and then the cable snapped, replaced and all was fine. Wouldn't go so far as to change the cable housings, check if the old housings won't work. Of course if your budget allows do everything then you 'll know it's good
Reg Lizard Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 thanks manne ek sal laat weet of die nuwe kabel die ding gedoen het.
Reg Lizard Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 Fitted the new gear cable last night and it did the trick obviously had to take her out for a spin afterwards just to make sure everything is fine. Slept like a baby last night
