Cable stuck in housing

[Wester]

I have got to do some adjustments to my Gripshift and gears however I cannot get the gear cable out of the section of outer housing that is nearest to the gripshifter it is stuck fast in the housing how do I solve the problem

New cables?

Cable stuck in the outer? So it cannot change gear?

Or you cannot get the cable out of the grip shifter? Can you see the end of the cable in the grip shifter?

Need more info!!

Can you provide a pic? I have had this problem before with various makes of twist grip. In some cases (usually with the cheaper sorts) it has proved easier to replace the gripshift entirely.

If the nipple is stuck fast it may be a case of digging it out carefully with a sharp implement, being careful not to damage the housing too much. A spray of GT wouldn't hurt either just to try and free things up a bit.

New cable that is probably the best solution

But I would still like to know what caused the cable to stick in the housing

Poor quality of cable/outer? Rust? Accumulation of gunk between the cable and the housing? Wear and tear since last replaced?

Take your pick....or just get on and replace the cables.
