I know I could sort this by trial and error......but!

I have put new outer gear cables through a repainted frame and need to reconnect the inner cables to the selector. Which way round do they need to go at each end? Is there an easy way to remember whether the cable nipple on the upper side of the handlebar wheel goes on the inside or the outside of the selector?

Many thanks in advance

Front to Back and Back to Front

the front cable (nearest headlight) on the gear wheel in the headset goes to the back adjuster on the selector

the rear cable (furthest headlight) on gear wheel in th eheadset goes to the front adjuster on the selector
