the handlebars to fully turn without pulling out of
the down tube cable stop.
8. Remove the cable and note the point at which the
cable enters the downtube using your thumbnail
or marker.
9. Cut the cable at this mark. Clean the cable end and
install a cable stop.

follow shifter specific instructions.
11. Repeat steps 1 - 10 and install the front derailleur
