Tioga T-Bone BAr Stem - Internal cable routing issue.

[Trebz]

All

I have a problem, although I'm convinced that it's more a problem with the human, not the steel mountain bike component

I bought one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380433062...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2133wt_845

Am I right in thinking that these should be installed using a fork or headset mounted cable hangar?

I have fitted it already and inserted the brake cable outer into the internal bar stem hole, whenever i pull the brake lever after installation the brake cable outer is pulled through the bar stem and pops out the underside. Should i push the brake cable outer all the way through the bar stem then run it through a cable hangar?

Never used this type of bar stem before, have had T-Bone's in the past but not this internal cable type.

Thanks in advance.

Are you installing the outer cable with a steel ferrule fitted?
I've not had any problems with the 2 i've used.

Hhmm... no steel ferrule fitted by me, will try that and report back....

That's probably where I'm going wrong hehe

Steel ferrule installed. Problem solved. Human now understands.

Thanks GG.

Alternatively use the old diameter outers. I remember that when I used a ferrule icw normal diameter outers the cable was pulled through the ferrule too under extreme force. They weren't the best ferrules, but with the old diameter cable (without ferrule) I had what I wanted.

Slightly larger diameter old outer >>>
