Title: Fitting a Shimano DX Lever
Post by: mr mclean on October 31, 2008, 09:06 PM

Hi All,

Got a Shimano DX rear lever to fit - but can't figure out how to route the cable on it!!! :crazy2:

Can anyone help? With a pic if possible...  :)

Ian, pull the inner cable through a bit so you have about 4/5" of cable with the ferrul (barrel) ready, push it inside the lever, then when you move the handle you will see a cable stop, hook the barrel over that, pull the outer cable tight onto the plastic guide, keep it all tight and tighten up the caliper, its quite straight forward, If you still dont get it I will try and take some pics for ya tomorrow :daumenhoch:
