Bicycle shops will work fine. When I put the Weber on, I needed a longer 
cable than the stock. I ran downstairs to the basement, cut the long 
cable from the rear brakes, and fed it through the housing. Works like a 
charm. In fact I carry one of the same bike in the tool kit.

In a world without walls or fences, what use do we have for windows or
