I’m so excited to get my bike together. in my zeal I bought the park despite some negative reviews here, and went home at lunch to try it.
I have to say the cut was surgical. I did warm the housing over a lighter and snipped it right below where I had crushed the shifter housing. Perfect slice, no frays and the opening was nice and round with the cable passining through with ease.
BUT I cut it about 10mm too short when my basebar is all the way to the left against the frame. DOH.
Should I
a) Don’t worry until I get a gift certificate and replace it down the road?
b) tape a small extra segment to the aerobar under the tape?
c) replace asap for extreme safety reasons?
Will let you know how the Park handles the brake housing.
