You know the things? That cover parts of your gear cables....
Anyway, how do you clean out such a thing? Going to be putting new shifters on, with new cables and want to degunk the covers....

Because it will shift alot better if you buy new outers and inners for the cables. Impossible to get all the gunk out of everwhere unless they are cut really short sections.0

Never tried cleaning cable outers - would seem like an impossible job anyway.I don't do smileys.

If you're insanely tight then you can spray through with GT85 and dribble some thick chain lube through them. Or just replace!0

So am I needing "tip ferrules", "end caps", "Cable end ferrules"?
Thought this would be simple.0 -
If your fitting new shifters and inners it would be a waste not to replace the outer as its so cheap to buy.

Just do it the easy way and buy the whole lot in one go. These are coated cables, inners, outers, ferrules, crimp. Pair for about a tenner. Good quality. Job done.

Don't forget brake and gear outers are different. Don't mix them up.0
