Bad part is that Bianchigirll warned me of it. I learned the 80 dollar hard way.
I figured it had to be one of those.

In terms of pretty good deal, I am confused? It is super cheap stuff that I wouldn't want on any of my bikes except in an emergency. Cables and Housing are pretty cheap upgrades so downgrading that much when I could even have a Jagwire Basics kit just seems odd unless again in an emergency.

Sucks you screwed up a nice LX shifter. That is why Jagwire or Shimano cables exist you can get cheapie stuff which I wouldn't use for LX but it will be a heck of a lot better than wally-mart.
