Ed, I think you're right. I looked at the pic again and it does appear the cable is routed correctly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-o

As others have pointed out, a cable/housing swap should not involve *any* adjustments to the derailleur itself. May be too late but I hope you let the FD be... My guess is you don't have enough cable throw to get the FD onto the big ring. Some things that could be: - Shifter cable housing w

Were this my bike, I would confirm... - That all the holes in the back of the shifter pod, the housing, and the grips are all lined up and in a straight shot - That the FD cable is all cool at the bottom bracket shell and that nothing is keeping it from getting in and out smoothly - That my FD c

Hmm, that doesn't look right. The groove at the end needs to be deeper so your housing gets a straight shot into the shifter, it shouldn't be jutting down like that. Can you slide the housing through the twine enough to back it away from the shifter, spin the shifter sideways and get a screwdriv
