Probably a daft question.
I'm changing my 6800 RD from a short to a medium cage so I can run an 11-32 rear cassette. It llooks like there is some kind of additional part where the cable runs through the adjustment barrel, a "cover with tongue" according to the online manual, never seen this before. I am hoping to use my existing cable rather than fit a new one, I can see a potential problem if the end of the old cable is frayed from removal. Is this cover with tongue thing essential for the smooth operation or can I ditch it if the cable won't get through?
Or do I need a new RD cable as well?
