Derailleur cable routing
Tinkering with my recent acquisition again, a Schwinn Prelude, I've been looking at the way the shift cables are routed under the bottom bracket. There are 2 little welded loops, with the bare cable running through them, and the cable drawn tight up against the paint. Was there originally some sort of sleeve to keep the cables off the paint, or is this the way it's supposed to be?
