The rear derailleur cable and housing leave the shifter and go around the non-drive side of your head tube.
The housing should be secured to the center slot on your cable guides on the top of the down tube. Run the
housing down the top of the down tube in the center slot. From the last down tube cable guide the housing
will pass between the rear shock mount and the upper link and connect to the 1st cable guide on the bottom
of the drive side seat stay. *Leave enough of a bend here to allow for free suspension movement. Secure the
housing to all three guides down the seat stay. After the last guide route the housing outside the seat stay to
the derailleur. *Leave enough of a curve here to keep the housing from kinking and binding your shifting.
Caution: The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and
unexpected shifting of gears.
The front derailleur housing routes down the bottom
of the top tube. After the last guide the housing will
pass between the seat tube and the swingarm and
connect to the derailleur.
The rear brake housing will route from the brake around the non-drive side of the head tube to the non-drive
side of the down tube cable guides. If your brake is already bled and cut to the proper length it may be
easier to remove the front shock mount to get the cable in place. From the last guide on the down tube the
housing will run between the rear shock mount and the upper link to the rst guide on the bottom of the
non-drive side seat stay. *Leave enough of a bend here to allow for free suspension movement. Secure the
housing to tall three guides down the seat stay. After the last guide the housing will run inside the seat stay
to the brake caliper.
CABLE SETUP
The SB5c uses full length cable housing. By using full cable housing, we have eliminated break
points in the line of your shifter housing. This allows riders to experience better overall shifting
performance by reducing the entrance of unwanted elements such as sweat and sediment.
Use of full cable housing helps prevent corrosion from the elements and keeps the shifting
smoother for a longer period of time.
The staff at Yeti are sold on riding with a height adjustable seat post so we included specic
cable guides for the post’s line on the SB5c. Run the line from your remote along the guides on
the bottom of the top tube or use out internal routing option for a clean set-up. If you haven’t
tried a dropper, we strongly recommend you do, as it makes trail riding even more fun.
