[richwagmn]

Does anyone know if Shimano has fixed the fraying shifter cable issue with the 6800/9000 mech groups?

Still an issue and with 5800 also..check those often and remember to use the slick shimano ones, $20 per..yowser.

The Teflon coated cables maybe would work better as well KCNC or even Powercordz may be worth a go. You wonder how Shimano mess up.
7800 for me was fantastic "solid" that should have been the template to develop from surly?
I don't ride it now but when I did it worked for years "flawless" No major adjustments or issues and smooth shifting.
