STI shifters destroy cables?
Dion Dock 19 April 2005 20:16:21
	My wife and I have experienced 4-5 instances of shifter cable failure in Dura Ace 8 and 9 speed shifters. The failure is always the same, the "anchor" in the shifter cable is ripped off, leaving an extremely frayed cable. It happens when downshifting to a larger rear sprocket. I've never seen anyone mention this before, but I can't believe we're the only people who experience this problem. thanks, -Dion

Read my 10-minute-old post in the "STI Rear Cable Life" thread. (My brifters are Ultegra, but same thing happened -- albeit to only ONE cable so far.) Grinder Bill

As mentioned elsewhere, this may be an indication of too much friction in your cables & housing. Look for burrs on the ends of the housing, poor-quality ferrules, housing where the outer plastic sheathing has recessed a bit, exposing the metal underneath... grease where the cables travel under the frame... all are potential causes of premature cable failure. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Dion Dock" <invalid@bounce.com> wrote in message news:42652ed5$1@solnews.wv.mentorg.com...> My wife and I have experienced 4-5 instances of shifter cable failure in> Dura Ace 8 and 9 speed shifters.

I assumed that was normal, but you have just prompted me to grease under the frame in future.
