Fig.1: Insert a section of shifter cable housing (1700mm length) through the rubber base and into the hole at the base of the down tube
A
, over the top of
the bottom bracket and out the top of the seat tube. Put a gradual radius at the leading edge of the cable housing before inserting into the down tube.
Fig.1: Run the housing up the down tube, up to the remote lever and adjust the housing length (be sure to measure twice and cut once!) so that there is
enough slack in the housing to compensate for turning the handlebars to their extreme positions
B
. It is imperative that the cable housing is kink-free
along its full length. Once the housing position is determined at the handlebar, cut the housing so that it’s level with the top of the seat tube
C
.
Fig.1: Cut off the length of housing that corresponds to Xmm (the distance from the noted seatpost height to the base of the cable hanger, Section 1, Fig.7).
Fig.1: Once the cable housing position is set, tighten the down tube cable bats to 30 in-lbf (3.4 Nm).
