Hi. Got the new 1x lever (cable stop at seat post end, grub screw at lever end).

Any tips on getting the cable into the round holder bit, which then fits into the lever? Tweezer?

Vexatious.

Alex

I just threaded mine through, took a couple of attempts but not too bad.

Unless it’s massivley different to the Pro version, just hold the round holder so it doesn’t turn, close one eye, stick your tongue out and aim for the best.

Mount the lever to the end of a handlebar (just so it doesn't need an extra hand to hold it, and on the end gives better access), push the lever forward to give easier access, push a long loop of inner through the barrel adjuster so you aren't fiddling with a short end in a tight corner, locate the barrel in the lever and feed it into it. All this obviously requires a new inner cable, you may manage with an old one, but it's really not worth the aggro involved.

You need to screw the grub screw out a little bit before the cable will thread through the hole .
