Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Installing those Dura-Ace inline gear indicators...

Hi Everyone,

I'm installing a Dura-Ace inline gear indicator and was wondering if there was a less painful way of threading the orange indicator, i.e. can I take the module apart?

Thanks in advance!
Mike

Super, many thanks. I tried that but was afraid of breaking it, they seemed glued.
