rear shifter housing problem (img included)



Ok, so what's going on? This is the cable housing directly from my rear rapidfire shifter. The plastic junk was all tangled up, gumming up the shifting, and those wires... Oh my.

As my signature file says.. I am just learning as I go along

So anyway the back story: My rear shifting has always been weird on my Specialized HardRock Sport 2004. I think I finally found out why. Anyway, I was just trying to tune my rear derailer, and found it was a bit frayed, so I decided to replace the cable altogether. That's when I found this mess inside the shifter. Sorry I didnt take a picture of the mess while it was inside the shifter.

I don't have an replacement housing... Any suggestions on where I can get some? I live too far away from LBS, and my usual sites Pricepoint, Nashbar, Performance don't seem to carry what I need.

Bummer, I'm out of commission until this is fixed
