The front derailleur hanger on all models is the
same. However, the S-Works model requires
the installation of a backing plate, while all other
models use rivets integrated into the frame.
S-WORKS (12R) FRAMES: The front derailleur hanger is
mounted by inserting bolts through the hanger and threading
them into the backing plate. This backing plate must be held in
position while installing the screws. To hold the mounting plate
in position, follow the steps below:
 FIG. 1: Insert a shift cable sheath through the upper bolt hole
and out the bottom bracket shell.
 FIG. 2: Insert a shift cable through the backside of the
backing plate, then guide the shift cable up the cable sheath
until the cable exits the upper front derailleur bolt hole.
