How do I get the cable free from the in-line shifter?
you undo it at the brake. Then you pull the inner through the housing that leads from the brake (or the cable stop, depending on the brakes and the bike) to the cross lever, and then through the lever. Then you can take the lever off, and then you can take the piece of housing that leads from the main lever to the cross lever off, and replace it with a longer piece (from the main lever to the brake or stop.)
Were it my bike, I'd replace the inner cable too.
