What the heck is this cable for?
 

I have searched through many technical documents but have yet to find the answer.

Its the small cable sticking up....

I think it is a flight deck computer cable.

I would have traced it back to find out, but that is just me...

That's what I was thinking.

+2 on flightdeck, never really thought there was much use for it. I mean, if you need to know what gear you're in, look down? You oughta remember anyway...

I don't know, but dude, Parliments?

excellent :)

Hey you need to put on the bar tape. Please promise me via PM that you will put on the bar tape, because if you don't, you won't have any bar tape on your bars, and that'd be bad because you're supposed to have bar tape on your bars where the bar tape goes.

Looks like a wire, FBI is on to you!!!

This is kinda what I was thinking. Some electronic gadget to tell me what gear I'm in?

Somebody's trippin'....

Yup - it's Homeland Security. If you look up carefully you'll see what looks like a big model airplane following you around everyplace that you go. It would be good to avoid riding too close to any government buildings.

Cigarett lighter power cable

it would be rather cool if bikes had a pitot tube like planes do to measure speed, altitude, distance, etc. Hmmmmm, maybe I can sell that idea.

Di2?

Hmmmm..... motorised doping switch cable?

That is what it looks like - BUT - Flight Deck compatible levers don't come with this cable, you only get the cable (both sides) if you get the Flight Deck computer mount (which OP doesn't appear to have... since he has some other kind of computer cable on the other side of his stem).

I have a FD and I like it. Gear indicator is kind of neat but buttons under the hoods is neat too.

It's the IV for the blood transfusion pouch. Find the needle and you'll be all set to drop the hammer on everyone.

:roflmao2:

You shouldn't smoke... it's bad for you. :notamused:

Seems odd to have a Flight Deck cable without a computer to plug it into. Was this new, or used?

the cigarette equivalent of the pull out method.

parliaments and derailleur cables? shenanigans.

:lol:

You are so fooked!

definitely Mechanical doping cable.
