Spent 3 hours adjusting barrel adjusters before realizing my cable housing was 2mm too short

I was chasing a ghost shift through my whole drivetrain, tweaking limit screws and everything, only to discover I trimmed the housing like an idiot during a cassette swap. Anyone else waste a whole afternoon on something this boneheaded just because you forgot to double check a measurement?

Oh man, my buddy Steve once rebuilt his whole rear derailleur before realizing he'd routed the cable on the wrong side of the bolt!

I've done that same thing, but with the brake cable.
