cables rubbing underside of bottom bracket
On my newer road bike, there's a plastic piece that runs in between the cables and the bottom bracket of the bike (the underside of the bike) to prevent cables running up against the steel when shifting. I just saw an older Nishiki with the cables housed internally, w/no apparent padding in between the steel and the cable. Is the Nishiki missing something, or is that the way it's supposed to be? If so, doesn't the cable rubbing (when shifting) wear away at the steel? Anything that can be added to reduce said wear? Thanks in advance.
