Question about replacing a gear cable

[RonK]

tip i read on the interwebs, cut outers with a inner inside, prevents crushing.

Not necessary for commpressionless gear housing, but yes I always do that with brake housing.

Finally got ahead to replacing the frayed cable and cleaning the bike.I highly recommend the park cable cutters the are a solid unit

Those park tool cutter have already justified their $28 dollar price on the first cut.
