[Closed] Tips for replacing a Reverb with a TransX

Internal routed dropper on Radon Slide.

When I remove the Reverb, the cable will not be threaded through the outer, my usual trick / thought to make replacement easier.

The only time I dropped a cable without the outer on or cotton connector, it took a couple of hours of faffage to get new cable through.

Can I fit an old cable into the Reverb cable?
Any other tips?

tape a long bit of string/ribbon to the end of the hose, and pull it through, attached new cable to the other end of the string and keep pulling

Reverbs use hydraulic hose like your brakes so you cant just fit a new inner wire.

As tomhoward says, tape some string to the reverb hose before you pull it out.

Have you not got the double ended red cable connector that comes with a Reverb?
If you have just use that to pull the new cable outer through with the old hose.

It's a dead reverb that came on bike we're replacing with new TransX.

I don't know why I hadn't thought to just tie reverb line to new cable outer. 'doh
