Tony Harrison Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Am I being thick? (probably...) I'm trying to work out how to change the gear cable in an XT shifter. Do I have to unscrew part of the housing? On the old STX RC shifters there was a hole where you could push the cable out of.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Which exact model do you have?Some (the all black 8-speed ones, c. 1999ish) you need to unscrew a little black plug with a x-head on it... it's quite inconspicuous!

Endohopper Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Maybe PARK TOOL'S guide might feature your model .EDIT : Shimano's own Service manuals describe all variations of XT rapidfire .

Tony Harrison Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Great, thanks. It's the little cover I thought it would be. Fair enough I suppose, keeps crap out of the shifter.Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
