Did a new one yesterday - installing a dropper in my new build, went to trim the housing but forgot to pull the cable out. Now the housing is perfect but the cable is too short so I'm just going with a rigid post.
Before that, I managed to defeat the downtube-to-seat tube corner after a long frustrating battle when getting my housing internally routed, just to realize I put it in through the wrong head tube hole
Pull the short cable out, put a new one in? Once the outer is in place you're golden.

Was it Jeff and Charlie who talked about push on grips in their podcast or was it bikes unaffiliated podcast? Anywho, if you mount your push on grips with beer, they're not coming off. At least not easily.
I had a click while pedaling on my enduro bike that was driving me nuts. Standing up it still happened. I tried: cleaning chain, replacing chainring and cassette, servicing the Ochain, servicing my Chris King BB, checking links with shock off, and it still would happen. Then I swapped pedals between my bikes (identical Race Face Turbines, less than a year old)... clicking went away on the enduro bike. And the pedals that came off it do not click on the other bike. WTAF. how is that possible? Not complaining that it's fixed, but... how? My only guess is that removing and reinstalling cleared some grit from the seals.
Or the spindle is clocked differently on the different cranks so the power stroke is pushing on the axle at a completely different angle, where the wear isn't.

Had you checked the torque and/or grease on the pedal threads before swapping them with another bike? They might have been loose or dry in the threads

I mean, I don't use a torque wrench on pedals, but they were plenty snug, and they both got anti-seize applied to the threads before I installed them the first time. So I'm 99.9% certain they weren't loose.

that's the plan but on a Sunday afternoon when all the shops were closed, might as well have been the end of the world
A box of cables and a box spool of outers is a must if you wrench on the bike at least a little bit. 🙂
No home mechanic worth his weight in geldings goes anywhere without his 20-pack of cables.
I bought 100 inner cables and crimp ends off AliExpress for virtually nothing. No reason not to have a pile of them on hand imo
That’s core
