odd you should bring up this topic. originally, I had a brake noodle and 5mm housing, but the cable was binding and not shifting into higher gears. so we ditched the noodle, but the same crap happened. 4mm housing it is. shifts damn near perfectly now - I am reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaallllly happy with this bike.
