MTB gear cables… anyone reason why I can’t run the outer cables all the way from shifter to mech?
Typically on a mountain bike, outer cables run from the shifters on the bars and into cable stops on the top tube or down tube, then there is an exposed length of inner cable and the outers begin again further down. I have a problem with my cable stops and I’m wondering whether there’s any technical reason why I can’t have a long length of cable outer running all the way from gear lever to front and rear mechs with no exposed inner cable in the usual places?
I realise I will have to drill out the cable stops, but I have a problem with them (they have been welded backwards) which is why I’m here asking!
Yes, you can run housing all the way from the mech to the shifter. I would strongly recommend AGAINST drilling anything out. Instead, use wire ties or cable clips to attach the cable to the frame.
I am assuming that you have already talked with the company that made the frame and they have refused to clear up the problem?
