Ideally you shouldn't be using your FD that much. I know I stay in the big ring most of the time on long flat rides and with a lot of climbs, I'm in the little ring anyway.

But, it's not that hard since the cadence cable (at least on the specialized turbo's) is a very very thick cable (about 3x thicker than the flimsy cateye ones). It holds the spiral shape pretty well and you can just thread a new cable right through it.
