Note the upward pointing rear shifter cable and the corresponding hole it came out of. The straight cable route into the shifter is of no benefit, it is the tight bend inside the shifter that causes the fraying and breakages.

This bike is a triple, so a few tweaks on the limit screws and it's rideable as a 3-speed. :smile:

I managed to put a reuseable cable tie on the rear mech and select gear of my choosing when mine snapped, not sure you can do it on all rear mechs but worked on a sora R3000 one.
