shimano 6800 shifter
Seen this a lot whare the cable end is not seated in the right place, instead it locks into the groove and then shreds itself on the outer housing. Make sure that the internal are set with ratchet system in the zero tension position, sometimes hard to do with no cable tension to pull the mechanism back. Just keep flicking the return lever until you see the cable location recess appear. It's on Reddit here .. https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/comments/ezelit/shimano_ultegra_6800_shifter_help/

I have a RH shimano 6800 shifter where the gear cable has broken 3/4 times within the shifter. What's happening there? Is it something i'm doing wrong during setup? Has something broken within the shifter which makes it more likely the cable will break there?
