The mechanic cut the cable but didn't know how to change the outer cable-protection so I had to do it. It worried me so it was no surprise when he gave up adjusting the gears 1½ hour later. It could only shift 8 of 9 gears and made strange sounds and still they embarrassingly tried to charge me full price, which I of course declined and left without paying I biked around for an hour adjusting the gears and getting them somewhat right though the shifter still only did 8 of 9 gears. I was convinced, it had to do with the cable length, but I didn’t wan’t to chance changing it, leaving Istanbul the following morning.
