The offending frayed cable, from the most recent episode. I don’t have a camera with the capacity to take a good photo of small items.
3rd frayed rear derailleur cable leading to catastrophic failure on 2nd bike with Tiagra in the last 10 months. This is ridiculous. I had to add “check cables” every three months to my Google calendar, and will now waste a few dollars replacing them every 6 months like clockwork to prevent the un-fun experience of 2-speed cycling all the way home. I will have to seriously consider non-Shimano options for future upgrades…
