  • Yeh interesting, strange that the cable would snap, i guess he cut it short when removing them from the bike.
    If you cant take them apart then i dont know what you can do, if you have a local and trustworthy shop you can take it to them and see if they know if its fixible, if you're lucky they might know the problem and give you some advice.

    @Eeyorecore interesting hack that, ive tried swapping record parts to non record parts and often ran into problems with there being small tolerance issues making neither compatible.
    Ive tried mostly with the 9speed ti stuff and record 10s.

  • After a bit more fiddling I managed to get the spool in the right position and fed a cable through. Under tension it seems to be winding in and out when shifting so hopefully it's working again, won't know for sure until it's all connected up on a bike I guess.

  • Ah nice, i had this problem woth one of the later 10s groupsets with the ultrashift that would really do much unless it was cabled up as they changed the mechanism.
    Once on the bike it worked fine but off it i couldn't always get all the gears going up a'd down without any cables.

    @Eeyorecore good to know !
    Ive tried mostly switching out 9s record parts with 9s chorus parts but i guess they were too old to have any compatibility.
    The project was putting a long cage from a mirage onto a chorus body using ti bolts... But even the length of the cage hanger bolt wasnt the right length...
