Seems the elbow should be at the speedo end so I guess the inner has been put in the wrong way around. It’s probably possible to pull the inner out and thread it back in from the other end. Don’t know about you but on a few occasions in the past I’ve found it very easy to pick up a cable and have the inner start sliding or fall out 🙈

I just took my LC2 apart to take a closer look at the speedo drive. The hole in the back of the speedo is a blind hole, about 25mm deep. You cannot push the cable in too far. The hole in the speedo drive at the wheel is also a blind hole 25mm deep. The 'stop' on the inner cable (a pattern one from Norbo) is about 26mm from the end which means it doesn't make any difference to how far the cable pushes in irrespective of which way round it is assembled. 20210417_172421 by crogthomas, on Flickr The steel elbow on the outer cable is long enough and wide enough for the stop on the inner to go completely inside it, which means that it cannot prevent the inner from falling out of the back of the speedo. The stop goes all the way down to the hexagonal crimped section. 20210417_172625 by crogthomas, on Flickr The only thing that retains the inner with the correct protrusion to locate in the back of the speedo is the fact that it bottoms out in the speedo drive at the wheel end. Once installed in the drive at the wheel the inner protrudes about 20mm from the top of the cable outer, with the stop inside the steel elbow. 20210419_090047 by crogthomas, on Flickr As far as I can tell the stop on the inner cable is only there to prevent the inner falling out whilst handling it from the packet. Once installed it does nothing and it doesn't really matter which way round it is (excepting the fact the inner will fall on the floor if the stop is installed at the bottom, causing you to mutter swear words under your breath).

The stop is there so if your cable detaches at the wheel end you won't loose the inner cable. Andy.
