Companies that take your order. And then confirm that they have the stock when you ring to check. And then when you go to organise delivery inform you that they didn't get any in the colour you want and whoever told you they did was wrong. No apology or anything. Crap time to find the kids a new Christmas pressent.

Internal cable routing is evil.
I have internal frame and chain stay routing for the rear shifter.
Damit, do I butcher a brand new cable outer that came with new XT shifter to get the tube inside to make the internal recabling easier or does bunnings have tube which I could use? I've found that tubing from the hardware is tough and holds too much memory of being in a coil so would not be great for using to recable internal routes. Any suggestions of alternatives for tube aside from butchering an outer?

I'm over internal routing. After countless attempts to get good shifting to the RD, I decided to drill the ends out to run straight cable through and never looked back. Another weight weenie wank :rant:.

Some holes can't be drilled to do that, at least with my drill.
They look the biz but I won't that coin on a once in a blue moon job.

Not recommended for all frames, you might not get the cable through either because of the larger diameter, it was this or cable tie something to the outside for me. I'm not going to buy anymore frames with internal routing.

If I can bloody tie an Albright knot I can do this, with the right tubing that is!

Del Rio will be lacking a crew member for a while I guess.
Ha-ha funnies aside, what happened, and how bad?

Does this link go to the Park Tools site?

Also couldn't you just tape or heatshrink the new to old outer and pull it through? Internal routing sucked in the 90's when Klein did it, I guess with guides it would be okay but I'm happy with 'em on the outside.

The address is correct ( as confirmed by an archive.org snapshot), but no longer in Park Tool USA's possession it would seem.
I'm guessing someone didnt lock their domain name and pay the renewal.
