Question about old ‘washing line’ shimano shifters.
I can’t figure out how to set up (changing cables as I’ve moved the bars up).
Instructions say you have the ratchet position completely at the maximum pull when you set the cable, which is the opposite of the position I’m used to gripping the cable at the mech (ie at the position of zero pull).
Can anyone help? How do you grip the cable if the pull is set to max? Hold the mech with that third hand?
