Parlee z5 sli - changing internal cables

Need to change my shift cables, but leaving housing (still shifting fine...i just have a frayed end)...hoping i can just pull the cable and thread a new one.

Since housing on the SLI runs all the way through the frame, the cable should easily make its way out without problems, right?

Just wanted to be sure before I start.

if it is solid housing all the way through you should be fine, especially with a brand new cable with a soldered end.

magnet

if the housing does not go all the way through, push the cable through and use a magnet to locate the end so its easier to get it out the other side.

There are other ways, but I've found this to work best.

Cheers.
