Hi all:
Do you know where i can find an 8-Speed Jtek Bar End Shifter? It
appears Jtek stopped making them. I ask because i want to put a
Shimano Alfine internally geared 8-speed hub on my Rambouillet.

The Shimano ones appear machined differently and so do not have this
problem. But I'd grease anyway.

Yes. Twice. Until the problem is fixed it's Shimanos for me. (Yes,
the cable heads were greased.)

Dang if I wasn't to short and too broke I would be all over this -what

Get the Chris King. Yes, they're expensive. They also look really
good, are wonderfully smooth, and seem to be set it and forget it. The
Bombadil deserves it.I have these on both rivendells and last spring I
took the 1" King I was hoarding and had it installed on my X0-1. ...if
you have nice parts,

I seem to remember hearing that derailleur cable ends come in two flavors:
Shimano compatible and Campy compatible...one of which is slightly larger
diameter than the other. Sorry, but I'm not sure which is larger. Maybe the
smaller one would not get stuck next time.
Can anyone confirm or deny

Just a dab of grease next time. Probably seized. Perhaps you could have
drilled out the cable head to loosen it. I like DTs as well, but never had
that problem.

Has anyone had trouble removing a derailleur cable from a Silver

the head of the cable is stuck in the shift lever hole. I tried
everything to remove it, and I think I pretty much destroyed the
