Let us know your experience of changing gear cables in the comments below 👇
Smooth shifting gears make bike riding a pure pleasure. There is nothing worse than a slow shift or missed gear change at that crucial moment. Ex-Professional cyclist Simon Richardson explains how to change your gear cables on a Shimano equipped bike so you get silky smooth gear shifting.
It is important that the outer-cables are the correct length. If they are too short the will have increased friction as they will bind when turning your handlebars. Too Long and they won't just look untidy, they will also have increased friction as they are inside the housing for longer than required.
After cutting the outer-cables to length we cannot reiterate the importance of making sure that the ends of the outer-cable are as circular and flat as possible, remembering to ensure that the liner is not squashed. This allows the inner-cable to enter and exit the outer-cable as smoothly as possible.

The easiest way is to buy Sram Etap.

@seahog32 7 лет назад

If your shifting cables are exposed where they run under the BB shell, it is better to use 2 pieces of the guide liner tubes, one for the length of the chainstay and the other one for the downtube. That way it will be easier to add a short piece of the liner to protect the exposed length of your cables from the elements.

@nootnoot1463 7 лет назад

Global Cycling Network Use a really sharp axe (or machete) to cut the cable outers. Makes a very clean cut

@rosco0101 7 лет назад

Change your cables regularly, even if your derailleur seems to be shifting fine. Then perhaps you won't end up with a broken rear derailleur cable and no rear shifting when you're 15 miles from home (like I did last month).

@dudeonbike800 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. Here's a tip: Bar tape still good, but the adhesive is too strong? Bar tape tearing as you unwrap it? Use a hair dryer on the handlebar as you lift off the tape. This softens the adhesive and helps it release. This will prevent tearing the bar tape and hopefully allow you to re-wrap the flats with the existing tape, good as new. I hope this helps.

@nelsonhibbert5267 2 года назад

I haven't got any hair.

@AT-zh6ty Год назад

Perfect instructions. I did my first internally routed rear derailleur cable replacement today, using this video, and it was all the guidance needed. Even used a Canyon bike... :) One interesting difference was that the original cable inner came out with a plastic tubing sleeve for the internal run - probably stops rattles and keeps it cleaner under the bottom bracket exposure. I refitted it on the new cable (only did the inner, as an urgent fix). I used a length of 1mm teflon tubing I happened to have - just the right diameter for the job.

Great video! Basically never had repaired anything on my bike myself and I could do it - one tip that was missing in my specific case: to check if the end of the old cable (the little metal knob) is still in the shifter in the handlebar - was the case after I had wripped the shifting cable - had to remove the bottom of the shifter to get it out of the system

@Bushviking Год назад

I have the same problem, but can only see the frayed end of the old cable. pulling on it with pliers doesn't get it out, it's stuck. Is there a trick to this?

@JackMitchell404 7 лет назад

I have a smattering of Sturmey Archer 3 and 4 speeds across my fleet and my rule is to only change a cable if absolutely necessary. it's pretty tricky to install a new one without having to live with ugly pinch bolts. My oldest gear cable is 39 years old and still going strong.

@vaux_manvv7520 4 года назад

@trekkeruss 7 лет назад

Two critical pieces of info missing from this and the rear derailleur adjustment video I just watched. One is to pre-stress the cables after the initial installation (and before doing the indexing adjustment). Doing so seats the ferrules and gets rid of so-called "cable stretch," so the indexing adjustment will remain constant and not need a readjustment later on. Two is to check the hanger alignment before setting the limit screws and indexing, because without good alignment, no amount of adjusting will ever work properly.

@unseriouscycling5751 6 лет назад

How does one prestress?

@nounours2627 3 года назад

@@unseriouscycling5751 With a cable puller/stretcher It could ease a bit the process for rim brakes but it makes it a lot easier for front and rear deraileur!

@lazurm 10 месяцев назад

@@nounours2627 Bicycle derailleur cables are typically pre-stretched by the manufacturer, and you should not need to pre-stretch them before installation. Manufacturers pre-stretch these cables during the production process to reduce the amount of stretching that occurs when the cables are installed on a bike. This helps ensure that your gears shift accurately and maintain their adjustments over time. When you purchase a new derailleur cable, it should be ready for installation, and pre-stretching is unnecessary. Simply install the cable according to your bike's specific setup, adjust your derailleur as needed, and ensure that the cable is properly tensioned. If you're experiencing shifting issues or suspect that your cable has stretched over time, it's more likely due to cable wear or the need for adjustment rather than a lack of pre-stretching. In such cases, you may need to replace the cable or make necessary adjustments to improve your bike's shifting performance.

A head torch is also good. Heads up on the Flight, Podium 1, black and white model, the internally routed rear gear cable in the down tube does not need a plastic inner sheath to guide it (the exit hole at the bb is so small that it dosnt fit) putting the inner cable straight in works

@skcyclist 3 года назад

What a great presentation. Pro voice and pronunciation quality.

@backpacker3421 7 лет назад

Awesome tip on using the inner sheath to make rerouting internal cables easy! FYI, I'm having fantastic results with Jagwire's teflon coated cable and compressionless housings - silky smooth action.

@backpacker3421 7 лет назад

Also - for those doing this job on a bike they got from a shop or on order: You can almost always shorten your housings which will result is somewhat less friction (small difference). Shops will nearly always build with 2-3 inches or more of unnecessary housing length. Just be careful not to go too short as they cover here at around 4:50.

@35ABSTRACT 4 года назад

@shawnstrode3825 7 лет назад

Sometimes the plastic liner can get crushed further down the sheath. If the probe won't reach the crushed point, use a heavy gauge wire (not braided) and slide it through the point. The end Ferrel will need to be secure, double check that it is fully crimped. If you buy non-lubed cable, be sure to use a wide temperature grease. The easy way to apply is rub grease into wire with a tooth brush, then wipe off excess with rubber glove (not cloth). A well lubed wire will drop through the sheath by gravity only. If not wipe wire again. Twenty years making cables you learn a few things.

@andrewpeacock4695 7 лет назад

If you happen to lose the small metal item that crimps to the end of the cable, you can always substitute an electric wire connector. They come in a variety of sizes and cost about 1/10 as much as an official end piece,

@tbra 7 лет назад

It would have been good if you elaborated on routing around the head tube (criss cross) or direct.

@dudeonbike800 3 года назад

It's crazy how many bikes are set up OEM with the cable housing mashed against the head tube after exiting from the bar tape and taking a sharp curve to the same side of the frame. This is simply stupid. That bike manufacturers aren't routing cables this way (right cable to left side of frame, and vise versa) at this point is almost criminal. My LBS showed Cannondale this trick 25 years ago, after which they made this SOP for their builds. (We also taught them how to overhaul the Headshok, but that's another story.)

I was having trouble, only in in cold weather, with the three biggest cogs skipping around, despite having changed the cassette and chain fairly recently. In desperation, I thought I'd try changing cables and housings. I had to use the magnet trick on the rear cable, and had some challenges with the internal routing housing on the front, but complications were overcome and lo and behold all the gears work well, and overall performance is noticeably better. I had no idea how much performance had declined over 5 years.

Nice. What is that seat post? I'm guessing it's a vibration/force dispersing post?

Any recommendations for the dimensions of the small tube to run over the internally routed cables?

Hi :) I would like to change my 105-5800 groupset bike(Cannondale CAAD12) stock handlebar into a Pro Vibe Aero with internal routing.The problem is that I need to completely remove the shifter cable to connect the shifter and brake cables trough the handlebar.The brake cables have in the shifter end a crimped part.It’s possible to cut it down and replace with a new one?I don’t want to remove completely the cable and the housing just to get trough the new handlebar.(Remove the ends in the shifter and crimp back that round part,and get them back to the new handlebar)

I am replacing the cables and bar tape on a 70s steel frame road bike, and the cables were originally routed separate from the bars with a lot of slack, should I just use the new cable to figure out how to route it and cut it when I have the right length for it to go under the bar tape?

Where can I find that inner tubing for easy routing of the cable?

For the benefit of everybody with this issue, Google 'Jagwire Slick-Lube Liner' - it is like an inner tube for brake cable housing, it should work perfectly to feed new cable through the frame.
