I finally got the cable replaced. It took about an hour. It wasn't until I
was able to pry out the old cable that I could understand how the drum
ratcheted into proper position to insert the new cable. I replaced the
shifter cable for the front derailleur as well. It's a whole lot easier when
the original cable isn't busted inside!

Thanks for all the replys. I would have had the bike shop do it without the
help!

My rear derailer shifter cable broke at the front lever on a long ride
today. I bought a new cable and I have no idea of how to install the
thing!
I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I want to learn how to do this. It's
a
Ultegra brake/shifter lever. The shift cable inserts from the left side as
you are sitting on the bike. The local bike shop wants 10 bucks to
install
these. Where can I find illustrated instructions on-line to replace it?
I
have the very small printed info that came with the bike. They are
usless...

Thanks!
