Any hints for replacing the rear mech cable? The outer is hitting something in the chain stay and refusing to get through, regardless of how much twisting I do. I have tried routing it back to front and front to back.
Somebody on here had the rather clever idea of shrink wrapping their rear brake cable and controller wire together?
How did you do it? Where did you unplug the controller cable to fit the shrink-wrap?
MTeam for the win. The upper was shorter bolt was .5, longer .3, decided I'd nip the shorter as it was easy sliding it into place.

It's driving me mad!
