re: #84 GeneJockey

That was my first thought, but it doesn’t work as it should even with no cable. And the cable’s not frayed either. But it’s time to recable the whole thing anyhow.

Luckily, I have two other bikes ready to roll. That saved Sunday’s ride!

99 times out of 100, the fault is in the cable housing. The teflon liner is worn through and the cable is rubbing on metal. Change the housing and try it before doing anything extreme! 5,000 miles is WAY past time.
