    A serious question with a smart arse answer doesnt help.

    The cables are difficult to get located into the shifter , did you try putting a slight bend on the start of the cable so when it enters thhe locating hole on the shifter is already heading upwards?
    Its a tricky process but it can be done .

    Serious, but incredibly vague question. Is the OP having trouble feeding inner through the shifter, or with routing the cables on the inside/outside/top/bottom of the bars etc etc etc....

    I answered the only question which the OP asked. You appear to have made an assumption and then described a solution to a problem which the OP might not be having. If the OP should return with another more specific question I will then try to provide him/her with a suitable answer if noone else has already done so.

    Hello


    I think i have the problem solved


    I took off the clamp completely that attaches to the handlebars

    I put the cable through the hole into the red pulley and used some plastic pipe to go around to the exit hole

    i inserted the wire into the pipe and retracted it.

    messy but it works?

    thanks
