Best Online Tutorial For Changing Cables?
Quote | Reply
I need to change out all of my cables on my MTB. They have rusted up from winter riding.... I know, I should have washed it after each ride, but it's a commuter...

I want to become more autonomous with my bike maintenance and want to switch out the cables on my own. I have all the tools and cables, I just want the best tutorial. Thanks!

Are you doing housings too, or just cables?

One thing I would recommend is a good quality cable cutter (just got a Park one for $30 at Performance) vs. using generic cable cutters from a hardware store that tend to mash/fray the cable more.

One last tip: Use a dab of superglue on the cable ends (instead of the Aluminum crimp-on cap) to prevent fraying. IMO it looks cleaner, and means I can remove the cable from a shifter or brake w/o recutting it.
