Then you just pull the cable on through. If youi already have a cable in place, use the heatshrink to attach your new cable end to the end of it.
Just recabled a Pinarello that way last month.
Smart! When you say "appropriately-sized", how large do you mean? I would imagine an inch or two of overlap on each cable would be fine?
