Ultegra Lever Stuck in Wrong Position

I HATE internal cabling.

Tell us about your latest bike with internal cabling, Joe. Be good to understand the foundation of such emotion, and maybe therapeutic for you, too.

I HATE internal cabling.

I understand the reasoning, if you are competing at the highest level every little iota of aero advantage counts. But for the remaining 99.9999 recurring percent of us it is just one big pain in the ar$se. Changing a shifter cable is one of the most common maintenance tasks on a bike, and also the easiest - or it would be if you didn't have to spend half a week trying to thread it through the tube and out the other end.

indeed the older external cables were easy to do, now the new design is a PITA to do in comparison and now wears out the cable inside the shifter rather than the old gumming up in the cable outer over time .
