Whilst cabling up my new IQ Fly the other day I noticed that the outer
sheath of cable outer running from the shifter to the downtube cale
stop had a spilt. It is around 1cm long and goes most of the way
round the sleeve. The exposed wires of teh outer show uniform surface
rust but no obvious damage. The spilt is where the outer rubs on teh
head tube but it doesn't look like abrasion damage. I have taped it
up with insulating tape. The system is campag (9speed mirage) with
campag branded outers and shimano cassette. Shifting is
satisfactory. All cables were renewed 16 months ago. I commute daily
in London UK. My instinct is to just leave it unless or until shfting
performance suffers or there is a catastrophic failure. Does anyone
think that that is risky?
best wishes
