how can I extract a cable bead end from a STI shifter
I have Tiagra shifters on my commuter. The rear derailleur cable went slack and I found the cable had frayed and broken where the housing met the nipple on the shifter. When I shift the lever to the highest gear I can see what looks like the metal bead end of the cable. The clearance is so small all I can do is manipulate it a mm or two using a pin...zero chance of getting a needle nosed plier in there.
Any suggestions on how to extract it?
