Loosely install the caliper on the fork leg. Align the brake caliper
with the rotor, then torque the caliper bolts according to the brake
manufacturer’s specification.
Finish installing the brake according to the component manufacturer’s
instructions.

Blue cable in diagram
Route the housing through the head tube on the non-drive side, down
the down tube, over the bottom bracket, and up into the seat tube.
See section 8. HEADSET, FORK, AND STEM ASSEMBLY as you’ll need
to route the housing through the headset and headset cover before you
can finish installing the dropper post according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
7.3. Electronic rear derailleur
All Epic WC models come standard with wireless shifting. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions to complete the installation and setup.
7.4. Optional mechanical rear derailleur
Green cable in diagram
Starting at the exit port on the drive side of the chainstay,
route the
rear derailleur housing through the chainstay until it exits the nylon tube
inside the frame.
Guide the housing up the down tube until it exits the head tube, then
slide a “churro” foam tube onto the housing (see image under 7.2. Rear
brake).
Once the churro is installed, guide the derailleur housing back down
into the down tube until the churro is in the down tube.
See section 8. HEADSET, FORK, AND STEM ASSEMBLY as you’ll need
to route the housing through the headset and headset cover before
you can finish installing the derailleur according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Once the handlebar is installed, you should be able to turn it in
the opposite direction from the side the housing enters the frame
until it's stopped by the steering stop chip without the housing
pulling away from the controls. To make sure you have the
minimum housing length required, add 30-50 mm of extra housing
to the length you measured and insert it into the frame to account
for growth and movement.
FOR COUNTRIES ROUTING THE REAR BRAKE ON THE NON-DRIVE
SIDE: Regardless which side you choose to route the rear brake,
the derailleur housing should always run on the drive side of the
compression ring since the shifter is on that side of the handlebar.
