TIP
- Do not use outer brake cable housings for shift cables and vice versa. They are each constructed completely differently, and replacing them means a considerable loss of function.
- Campagnolo and Shimano/SRAM use nipples with different diameters on the shifter cables. Therefore an exchange is not recommended. Gore supplies its cables with both nipple variants (image).
- If metal end sleeves are provided for shift cables, grease all cable stops on the frame during assembly. This prevents annoying creaking.
- The inner cables elongate slightly over the first few kilometres and the outer casings are compressed. You should therefore readjust the tension after 100 to 300 kilometres.
