WIRING FOR APES

I bought some 12.5 buffalo bars and extended my control wiring. Now i can't get it through the bars. No matter which way i go it stops at the same spot. Any tricks to this.

If you can get a string through the bars (use vacuum to suck it through) and tie it to your wiring and pull the wires through with the string. Also you might want to lube the wires a little.

Tape up all other open ends other than the ones you are using spray a little silicone spray on them and follow the rest from rh8234.Works like a charm.

WD40 also works pretty well. Whatever you use as a lube, make sure it evaporates and doesn't leave a mess behind. The string and vacuum trick works like a charm. The bars don't have the late model dimple in them do they? That would prevent the wiring from passing through. Look at the bars closely and see if the tubes are perfectly round all the way down or if there is a small flat spot on the lower edge.
