    Thanks!
    Used this trick with mechanic’s wire in place of a shift cable, to route the brake cable all the way from the chain stay through to the head tube. Worked great. Even on a Time frame with a Hambini 1-piece BB already installed.

    The derailleur cable with the housing was the only thing that worked. It took 2 hours of fiddling with tweezers and pliers before I tried the cable and housing end trick and it took 10 mins to do one side. What a life saver.

    I’m glad I found this video. I’m about to go from a flat bar to a drop bar and the bike came with hydraulic calipers, and the brifters I’m going to use are compatible with mechanical brakes. I’m still going to run hydraulic but they’re cable actuated so those hoses gotta go.

    Have a Turbo Levo 2019 and the cable is internally routed entirely from rear caliper to the fork head. The loosely mounted brake cable would not work cause you have to pull.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  2 года назад

      You shouldn't need to pull. Push on the break hose and only lightly tug on the cable to help guide the hose

    This is brilliant! Do you ever need to add some tape over the ferrule for extra security? My stigmata has a tight bend around the BB, and I'm worried about the ferrule coming off the hose.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  3 года назад +1

      Smooth pressure and it won't come off. Adding tape will increase the diameter and some holes it won't fit through

      Local bike shop would probably give one to you. They come with every cable set, bulk or even spares with a ton of shifting related bike parts.

    This technique sometimes work except when the cable housing end cap is too large a diameter to fit into the holes in the frame. Then what????

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  Год назад

      You throw out the bike...
      But really, then you just use a seal pick. Lots of way to do internal cable housing.
