How do you replace shimano 105 gear cables?!
Hi,
I recently decided to change my gear cables after a year (about 3000 miles) of riding but having bought new cables actually fitting them has defeated me! I can't figure out how to remove the cables from the shifters - do I have to take the shifters apart? I'd be grateful for any advice.
One other thing - I also broke my seat clamp (bad day!); is there any difference between road and mtb clamps assuming they're the same size? I think I need a 31.8mm clamp and thought I'd just a hope one of the web.
Cheers,
J

Slacken the brake cable off so you can pull the lever to its maximum and you can push the gear cable out from the side.0
-
And make sure you are in top gear so that the cable is straight.0
