SOURCE: How do i cut my shimano xtr hydraulic hoses to size?

You need spare olives (the brass ones are best) buy on Chainreactioncycles.com, measure your hose and allow for bad cut first time so add a Cm to measurement you can cut away just make sure that you use really sharp cutter (I use craftknife) place hose on non slip surface and cut cleanly, push on olive and reattach and tighten

Broken inner plate can be a potential warranty. Contact your local bike shop and they can process the warranty for you, if it isn't a warranty then the same shop can order you a new plate.

SOURCE: I just bought a TREK bike with SHIMANO

With a bike this old the best thing is too take the bike into your local bike shop and have them give it a once over to look for any potential problems. THIS IS A FREE SERVICE ALL SHOPS OFFER.

The problem specific could be as simple as the cable is very loose and not engaging the cable, or the cable could be so old that it is frozen inside the housing and nothing is happening. It could also be that the cable is broken, the shifter is broken or something other. It is impossible to diagnosis this particular problem with certainty without actually seeing and feeling the issue.

Bottom Line: Take it into a shop and get a mechanic to look at it.

I am having problems with the right xtr dual control shifter. Seems to hang up and is more difficult to shift than originally. When upshifting to smaller cog in back with rapidrise DR, I need to double...

Mtn bike shifters get dusty, at the shop when shifter didn't work properly we would wrap the shifter pod in a couple rags and spray WD-40 or Liquid Wrench in there to flush them out, a lot of it, then actuate the shifters and work through the gears, usually takes several times of flushing and working the gears to get them cleaned out. This works particularly well on older bikes that don't "click" when you move the lever. Also make sure you lubricate inside the cable housing and make sure the cables are not crossed in their routing and that there are no kinks or tight turns in the cable routes where the cable could bind up a little.

I just bought a TREK bike with SHIMANO shifter/brake combination. The bike may be 10-15 years old (not certain). The shifters move but do not engage the cable. What should I do?

The shifter moves 9 clicks, but the travel is only enough for 7 sprocket clicks

Shift into the highest gear and then release the shifter cable at the derailleur (it is clamped with an allen [hex] bolt). Pull the cable as tight as you can and re-clamp the cable. You should be all set now. The cable stretches over time and needs to be adjusted.
