Rohloff Internal Hub Gears / Re: Standard shift cable in twist shifter?
« Last post by mickeg on Today at 12:28:39 pm »I think I used cables that meet Shimano specification in my Rohloff shifter. I am quite sure they are not the Rohloff ones. Last time I changed cables, I made sure that I had a third one of the correct length to carry on tours, I do remember that.
I do not think they are the Campy ones, but I have a lot of Campy cables from a clearance sale several years ago since I have two bikes with Campy brifters. So I might have used Campy?

Instead of cutting the cables shorter, I added about 1 to 1.5 cm of outer housing instead to get the cable length right. (I used electrical tape to tape the housing together.) This way, when I carry a spare cable, a 1700mm cable (hopefully?) will be exactly what I need without needing it cut.
