Do you remove them because friction concerns?Lightweenie wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 4:54 pm1. I have completely removed the liners. I only use them to thread the cables through the frame and then remove them.

No friction concerns. They just don’t seem necessary, this removable “lid” under the BB acts as a cable guide already. I don’t see anything against also leaving them on though...
Yeah I basically agreeLightweenie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 9:22 pmNo friction concerns. They just don’t seem necessary, this removable “lid” under the BB acts as a cable guide already. I don’t see anything against also leaving them on though...
I think their only function is for threading the cable thru the frame tubes.
On my previous Fuji I went to change the front derailleur cable & that liner was basically
disintegrated for the most part inside the tube
When I tried to pull cable out & leave it in it just all crumbled
I think in the future I will always pull them off once cable is threaded.
Then save to attach when pulling cable out to change
