S3 Cable liner movement in headset?

Postby jdevane5 » Sun Apr 12, 2026 7:08 pm

Anyone had cable liner movement in the headset?
Bult a SIL GP a few years ago and the gear shift have never been consistent.
Anyway, I think I found the culprit with both gear cable liners moving out of the headset clamp when the gears are changed.

Im thinking a bit of tape around the cable liner end to tighten the fit or maybe a dab of glue in the cable liner end going into the headset
Dont really want to go and fit a new clamp..

Pointers welcome
Cheers

That’s pretty common. I’ll admit to using masking tape around the top of the cable outer :o

I’ve just done this very job, I’d go for the electrical tape around the nipple for ease of redoing it again if need be.

Swine of a job, but good luck.
