Hi from the bluegrass state.
So I'm not happy with the riding profile of my new bike and considering replacing the drag bars with something more ergonomic. What I'm considering to install has about a 3" rise and swept hand grips but will that force me to buy a longer shift cable for the Nexus hub?
I understand it's hard to make advice from pics but maybe someone has done something similar. Cables need a certain amount of slack and the new bars may tension that cable.
Can I do this without buying a new cable?
