Same preceder every year… new cable-routing. This come along by bad braking and shifting quality, like a rasp in the leaver.  All caused by corrosion due the loss of  the cable sheathing combined with environmental influences – just normal. So here we go =)

No warranty in ANY case of damage!

The cabling comes from shimano (Dura Ace Cable Set: Brake and Shifting). The new bar tapes are Lizzard Skins DSP. I will run a “German-Style” inspired by the Lightweight Urgestallt.

As said in the beginning the cable sheathing is gone. Here are a few pictures on the “open” lines.

So the first step is to mount the bike inside the stand and unwrap the handlebar and tapes.

• 

• 

First of all are the brakes. Here is a picture of a new cable set

• 

• 

First is the read brake. This one is semi-integrated on my bike. So step one is to dis-mount the rear brake clamp and undo the housing. After that I guide a rope through the frame as a guide for the new one.

After a successful implementation the rear brake is set again to 6NM of torque. The cable is secured by an end cap.

Same on the front. New housing and cable, 6NM + end cap.

• 

As the brake system is finished now for the shifting. First is disassembly of the lines and housings. Then a cleanup and oil for the adjustment screws.

• 

• 

• 

I do always the front derailleur first. So new cable and housing a torque of 6NM plus an end cap. Final adjustment comes in the end.

• 

• 

On the read derailleur same procedure, through the cable guide on the bottem, 6NM, end cap.

• 

• 

After that I adjust both derailleurs. The Shifting is MUCH better than before.

Now straight to the end. Just a little tape for the housings and then the new Lizzard Skins. Perfect.
