Reroute cables for new handlebars
Trying to do some stuff on my own and I just got handlebars that allow internal cable wiring. I have Ultegra shifters and Winwood Road Scholar HB.
I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Do I undo the cable at the brake caliper? The cable has a cap at the very end which I believe is to keep it from fraying, I would have to cut this off to be able to pull it through, is that correct?
Also is there a way to run the shifter cables internally or is that alot more work?
Thanks
