Putting new cable in an X0 shifter

[pieno]

Anyone know an easy way to thread a new cable into an X0 shifter. I have the top cap off and and the old cable out but i;m finding it hard to thread the new cable in. The shifter is also in the fully release position

Any help appreciated

If it is the same as the X.9 shifters, there is a small cap near where the triggers connect to the body. Remove this cap and you can thread the shift cable through the hole (the top cover stays on).

Make sure you lube it up with abit of oil then poke it through the housing.

Ok guys worked it out. It's different to an X9 shifter.

The cable has to kinda go around a corner right where you thread it in. I had to pre bend the cable to get it to go around this corner and then bend it straight once it was through this bit.

Seems like a pretty shitty design to me

yeah dude its a bitch, the only way i could do it was a brand new cable & then pinch it with multigrips & push it through, worked fine, no fraying or anything, just a prick to get in...
