downside is that the shift cables foul on the Berthoud handlebar bag. they kink at the frame boss/ adjusters. I've worked with this for 4 seasons but am considering downtube shifters instead.
I've read this frees up cable length & weight, but find the bar ends just so darn convenient.
anyone care?
A picture of your current setup would be quite helpful.
Are your cables too short?
Something that might help is to run the right cable to the left of the stem and onto the left cable housing stop and the left cable to the right cable housing stop and cross the cables under the downtube. That'll give a greater curve to the housing if you haven't set them up that way already.
