One of your cable connectors may of popped
out of its socket.Check the one halfway down
next to the front frame down tube.Check for
kinks or binding areas.Unless adjusted wrong,
or above problems it should work as before the
bar change.

Did you check *inside* the side cover where the other end of the cable is? There's a little spring that's supposed to hold it seated even when slacked, but it may have popped out.
