INSTALLING THE SHIFT CABLES
Securing the rear derailleur
1. Thread the cables through the liners in the
downtube until they exit at the bottom of the bike
through the bottom bracket cable port.
TIP
Tape the cables
to the frame to
avoid mixing up
front and rear.
2. Install the cable guide by aligning the short end
with the rear derailleur cable. Make sure the
plastic tails of the guide line up with the grooves of
the frame.
3. Install a housing end cap and then thread the shift
wire through the housing.
4. Snap the frame housing stop into the frame. Ensure
dropout cable sleeve is inserted in the frame.
5. Clean the ends of the housing. Create a bend in
the housing that allows the cable to slide without
binding. See the illustration for guidance.
6. Thread the cable through the adjustment barrel
and finish installation according to your derailleur
manufacturer’s specifications.
