I'm sorry but this needs to be said.
EVERY CYCLIST SHOULD CARRY AN EXTRA CABLE IN THEIR BAG.
They are cheap and they weigh almost nothing. Obviates the discussion
about broken cables. As long as your housings are good you can
replace it in minutes.
Not quite. If you are using STI and you have gotten unlucky, the
fragments of the broken cable end and shards of cable will be stuck in
the tiny gears inside the STI unit, and if you are lucky a mechanic may
be able and willing to disassemble the unit and spent 2 or 3 hours
messing around with it and might be able to fix it. Otherwise, you may
end up having to buy an entire new STI assembly.
