New cable, used the original housings, since I don't have a any new non compression stuff right now. I did lube them though. They're not in bad shape really. I can't mess with it until Sunday unfortunately. I had jury duty this week, and it screwed up my whole work schedule. I have the derailleur from the M system, and I may make that my next attempt. This one may be twisted a bit. If all else fails I'll go back to the original thumb shifters.,,,,BD
