hi everybody
i came off my bike today, subsequently damaging one of the cables, so i decided to order a full set. they need replacing anyway since the outers are too long since dropping my stem down onto the headset.
removing the brake inners from the levers was a cinch, but i can't even find where the shifter cables are going to. the manual hasn't really clarified much for me, so i'd be grateful for help
any links t videos which demonstrate, photos or just an explanation of what i need to do in order to simplify it for me
thanks

Which manual are you looking at? as it's pretty clear where they go in this one https://techdocs.shimano.com/media/te...9830702880.pdf

Why not just shorten your existing housings and replace the damaged inner?
Much simpler, no?

This is actually a 7900 shifter (Park Tool Co. » ParkTool Blog » Shift Levers (shifters)), but if memory from yesterday serves me correct the 5700 is in the same spot.

Make sure that you shift ALL of the way down where the cable is at its slackest so the head will line up with the hole in the shifter body.

it'd definitely be simpler, but if i'm going to do a job, i'm going to do it well.
it's more economical to buy a full set too ! plus it means in the future i can replace it all at once instead of different cables wearing at vastly different times.
anyway, thanks for helping... turns out i wasn't pulling the hood covers back enough to expose the hole
