HI

I am replacing the old Sora shifters on the winter bike with new ones.

Having bolted the new shifters onto the bars, can anyone please confirm the position of the red gear indicator, before feeding the new cable through.  

As looked at from the saddle, where should the red line be on the left hand and right hand shifters please?

 

Many thanks if you can advise.

Top tip: depending which year
Top tip: depending which year Sora you have, it can help to very slight pull the brake lever on to feed the gear cable through. Suddenly the cable port becomes a lot more accessible.

The right (rear) shifter

The right (rear) shifter should in the highest gear, so the red indicator is at the far left.

The left (front) shifter is the opposite – you want it set as if you’re in the small chainring.

Make sure the cable stop is properly seated once you’ve fed it through.

Both cables need to fully
Both cables need to fully extended from the brake levers. Hold the inner cable, apply a little pulling action with your hand. Press the lever, if the cable pulls, it’s the wrong way. The cable should slacken. Keep doing that to get to the end stop. Fit cables to derailleur s the rear derailleur should be over the little gear of the cassette. The front derailleur should be over the little gear on the crank aswell At that point the indicators will be at one end doesn’t matter which

Hope that makes sense
