Dual cable routing

Hi - Didn’t see anything useful in a search.

My front derailleur cable is fraying at the top (shifter). Is it hard to run a replacement cable through?

Thanks,
Tom

ps - I’m surprised it is failing so quickly - it’s only been 1 year and 1825miles on this bike. Is that abnormal?

I have changed out my Dual cable a few times now (due to rebuiling and upgrading) and have never had a problem yet. Very easy to do.

If the “hard” you are referring to is running the cable through the down tube, then no it is not. There is not a specific channel that the cable follows, just run the cable into the down tube and secure it in the cable guide on the bottom bracket then up to the FD.

great - thanks!
