I gathered from the original post that he tried "just pushing the cable through" and it didn't work for him. I'm guessing that your shop doesn't use the same double ended cable kits that the OP is trying to use. When you cut off the unwanted campy end, the freshly cut cable frays like hell when trying to round the corner. Sometimes heading off to the LBS to get a fresh cable is infinitely more trouble than taking out 3 screws.



"This is much more complicated than it needs to be. There's no reason why the OP can't simply push the cable through. We do cable changes on sram force/rival/red all the time in the shop and you simply push the cable through. It doesn't fray and you don't waste shop time on unecessary procedures. "
