@Karate Monkey mentioned that too, so I took care of it today.only think I would have done different is drill out the ends of the crack to stop it from continuing under the epoxy

It's okay, I'm sure @DEEZ NUTS wonders what it's like to block someone, so he must have tried it on me.
Internal routing with a Park IR 1.2 is a treat - it makes the task go from constant swearing to "wow, that was easy..." which makes the purchase cost a little easier to take.
I just noticed there are much cheaper options available now - including a $17 kit from Amazon. As well as a Jagwire kit for about $36.
Dave Rome is reviewing the icetoolz version right now which apparently is very good as well. I'm waiting on that before pulling the trigger on one.
unless your building up a new frame from scratch i have not yet had a problem (granted, iv only done it on two bikes) using the existing cable/housing to pull the new one through with either tape or heat shrink to hold em together YMMV but ill save my money till I find myself building up a new frame
If you're worried about getting out quickly enough then you can wind the traction pins in all the way. While leaving them out a little can really make for a solid connection it will also make it more difficult to unclip.
Heat shrink soundz like a super-good idea since it may be less bulkier than tape.unless your building up a new frame from scratch i have not yet had a problem (granted, iv only done it on two bikes) using the existing cable/housing to pull the new one through with either tape or heat shrink to hold em together YMMV but ill save my money till I find myself building up a new frame
Tenafly bicycle workshop shouldPulled the rear tire off the road bike to have a closer look at a sidewall cut. Probably fine, but I don't like to take chances with road tires and it's probably time for a replacement anyway. Any NNJ shops have "good" 28-30c road tires in stock?

We want video! Have a buddy follow you with a GoPro. 😆
I tried heat shrink on the Megatower rear brake and shifter cable housing, but you have to get the lengths pretty much perfect. And I didn't, so I had to cut it off. It does look really nice when it's done correctly, tho... I'm sure it's one of those things where you get better at it the more times you do it. Or you say "eff-it..." and buy AXS.Heat shrink soundz like a super-good idea since it may be less bulkier than tape.
Probably too late for this suggestion but Shimano makes "multi-release" cleats, aka, noobie cleats that will release both with normal twist and with a diagonal pull. Makes it easier to transition into being clipped in knowing you can still panic disengage. Still has plenty of holding power for normal pedaling though. Maybe CB has some similar equivalent to start with?Slightly worried. I've used clipless for years on road so I think my foot may naturally free me...at least hope.
