They are old, used, that I just purchased last year to leave here. I’m upgrading them as needed. When I change the shift cable on the bike in question…it won’t need to be done again for years. So, I guess I’ll get the kit with the excess housing, and just take it back home to add to the mess there. — Dan
If you don’t keep tools at the remote house, just take the bike to a shop.
