Hello! I just got myself one of these 1990 Karakorams and I have a question, as I'm in the cleaning/stripping phase that has the tendency to get on one's nerves: have you had any issues removing cable housing or do you know if the housing for the rear brake goes through the entire top tube?
I wasn't surprised to find out cables and housing are thicker than what I'm used to these days, but unfortunately most of the housing on the bike was rusty so I can't remove the part that goes from the lever to the top tube. I seems stuck inside, so I started pulling and now I am unwinding spirals of housing but it's stuck again. I'm afraid to apply some more force, as I worry not to break the spiraling wire off and to have a stuck piece of housing in the top tube? What to do?
Thanks,
Mx
