I want to remove my 2019 brake levers and replace them with Shimanos. Looking at the current levers I can't see how the cable can be simply lifted out of the lever in the usual way, no slots. What am I missing? Bit of a nuisance to have to remove both brake cables completely.

If there are not any adjustment barrels then you’ll have to remove the cable from the caliper and thread It out.

I fitted Shimano BL-R550 levers on mine, they also benefit from adjustment barrels.
