I bought my gravel bike in 2018. Front derailleur wasn't shifting so hot last week. I told a guy in the ride "I think my cable's fraying in the hood, if I suddenly start riding little ring- leave me for dead."
His reply "You should
join the 21st century and upgrade to DiII (or whatever)"
My response "Dude, I'm old school. I'll spend $8 bucks on a new cable and go for 5 more years"
The cable turned out fine, the bar wrap was interfering with the shifter mechanism in the hood. If I ever lose shifting on a ride again, I will emphatically state "Don't make me get all Henri Desgrange on yo' arse!!! " "You won't like me when I'm Henri Desgrange!" They will look at me like WTF?!?!
Im already practicing-
