Hello All
Not exactly a road bike question but here goes. Going to replace the gear cable and outers on my Spez hybrid and wondered where exactly the O rings go that come with the cable kit. I presume they stop water / dirt penetration to the inner housing but see videos of cable being fitted with no mention of them. I have re indexed my rear gears and they are reasonably sharp but think that after 3 years of all year commuting the changing would be slicker with new cables.
Many thanks all.

    O rings?

    Or the donuts? The donuts are just for putting on the top tube run to stop rattles.
