Hi there,
question as above.
So far, I've only ever had the cable themselves (inners) changed on my 105 equipped road bike.
This improves shifting but invariably over time it deteriorates again.
I understand that some of the cable outers are coated with a special lubricant.
Would I be better off changing the outers as well, even though there is no sign of external damage?
If so, how often should I change them? Every time the inner cables are changed?
I'm a bit reluctant to change them frequently, given rewrapping bar tape, hassle etc, so welcome any views.
Thanks
