Hi,

I s%#¤%# up when changing the cable on my bike... There is an internal cable routing and I pulled the old cable out :mad:... Now I have no clue on how to get the new wire through.

Please tell me it's gonna work out... Please tell me everythings gonna be OK... And please tell me how to fix it.......

Nevermind... Using a fishing line I managed to "trap" the wire and pull it out. Now I'm happy again :)

Next time try using a piece of tape or shrink tubing to attach the new cable to the old one and pull the new one through at the same time you remove the old.
