I’ve turned my Poseidon X into more of a road bike and swapped a 46cm bar for a much more comfortable 40cm. The microshift groupset has an externally routed shifter cable that was purposefully long to accommodate a bar bag, but it’s now almost hitting my left hand. If I were to cut the cable shorter and feed it back into the derailleur, would I need to index my gears or can I just adjust the tightness with my barrel adjuster and be on my way?

      Damn ok, time to dig into some YT videos. Thanks

      My cycling subreddits are the only ones keeping me on reddit anymore so your reply is my first step off of the platform.

    I’d suggest indexing the gears again, especially if you have access to a bike stand. Some index shifting systems can be really picky regarding tolerances
