    '92 GT Tequesta cable routing gone awry

    To wrap up this issue, a quick explanation of the solution we got to! By maintaining the reverse pressure on the tape by pushing a cable through the routing from the back, we were able to fashion an auger of sorts out of wire and rip up/pull out enough of the tape to lasso the cable and...

    '92 GT Tequesta cable routing gone awry

    Probably in the 3-4 cm from the front end - the boss is a ~12 mm diameter tube that extends into the top tube, terminating with a smaller aperture (~3mm) than the entrance to the top tube. The tape is just beyond this aperture - the routing doesn't seem to be a coherent passage from front to back.

    '92 GT Tequesta cable routing gone awry

    Update on this - tried the wire trick and no joy! Turns out that wire coat hangers have too high a diameter to fit through the rear, internal cable routing! As a result I can't feed the wire through in either direction and I don't think the tape will fit into the rear cable housing either! So...

    '92 GT Tequesta cable routing gone awry

    Thanks for the suggestions - if it's worked before this sounds like a solid plan. I wasn't sure if this would work as the whole reason I originally needed to reverse route a cable from the back was because when I tried pushing the cable from the front it kept hitting something and getting stuck...

    That is a bit lovely - how much are you asking for it? And whereabouts is it? I'm afraid I'm stuck here in Manchester.

    Wanted Specialized Rockhopper or Stumpjumper

    Hi everyone, I'm on the hunt for a steel Specialized Rockhopper or Stumpjumper from the late 80s/early 90s. Ideally 19-21" if possible and preferably in reasonable condition. Doesn't need to be perfect as I'm looking to restore/upgrade some components as I go. I can't collect outside my...
