Try sucking a string though with a vacuum. Then pull the wires in with the string.

How do you think that will work when you have a huge cable inside the frame already? The wires are already in the frame aren't they?

Are your new bars shorter than the old ones? If so, did you shorten the wires to compensate for the extra slack that you would now have?
