  1. UPS delivered my shiny new bike yesterday, and I've got it all put together except for hooking up
    the shift cable to the hub. This is the first time I've messed with these things, the owner's manual
    doesn't shed much light on the situation--it has a blurry postage stamp size picture--and sure could
    use some advice . . .

    The cable has a round thingy (a clamp fastened on to the cable with a screw) at the end, and I
    presume it fits into an indentation on a part of the hub. I dunno how, though; the round thingy
    doesn't quite reach the indentation, and I don't know if I should unscrew the clamp and move it an
    inch so it will reach, or if I shouldn't mess with it . . . Also, I can see a couple different ways
    to route the last few inches of the cable around the hub, but I don't know which way is preferred
    and which way will interfere with the hub's operations. It would help if I could get a good photo of
    this thing's final assembly, but such things seem to be rarer than photos of George Washington.
    Would appreciate any tips from the experienced experts . . . 10,000 thanks, --Tock
