Hey guys! I finally bought some new shifter/brake cables so I can toss those awful pink ones. (The rear one frayed something awful and limited me to a measly four gears once more!)
The only problem is I haven't the slightest clue on how to replace them. Any tips? (illustrated would help a lot as I'm a very visual person)
Thnx!
PS: Once I get new wheels and tires I may try and torture myself by showing up again.

Hee-hee, whoops. Forget to tell you guys; I was able to pick my dad's brain and he helped me install them.
It's ironic, though- I fix one thing and something else goes wrong. The front wheel is totally shot-it's tweaked and makes an awful squeaking sound, rubbing against the brake pads- so my bike is unridable until I can replace the front wheel, or straighten the rim and get the darnded thing trued.
