I just purchased new brake hoods for my cannondale road bike. I saw the youtubes to remove the old ones and put in the new ones and its pretty straight forward. The only problem is my gear cables are on the top part of he shifters/breaks and the brake hoods have to pass through the cables to be installed. So to install I would have to remove the gear cables from the shifters which I don't know how to do or cut the brake hoods slip them over the cables and glue back together.

I think not but is removing the gear shifter cables and putting them back easy to do? If so, is there a video or instructions on how to do it. I can't find it online.

Are there any other suggestions?
