OP here again. I'm living in Madrid now and I made a few calls. No one stocks DA 9000 cables for individual sale and two shops told me that they don't think Shimano even makes individual cables available.
I was prepared to chalk the cable-chewing shifter up to the normal cost of having high-zoot parts but now I'm miffed. Shimano has a know design flaw, apparently not fixed with the 9001 rev, and I'm supposed to pay 50 euros plus installation for an entirely new set of cables and housing every time my shifter eats a cable for lunch? That's too much cost to be acceptable.
Does anyone know what recourse I might have? I'm no longer living in the country where I bought the components. Should I contact the Spanish importer of Shimano or should I contact Shimano in Japan directly?
Thanks for your advice.
