Introduction
BMC timemachine TMR01 frame and components are designed as a system to provide a very high level of aerodynamics and riding
performance.
Integration being a key part of the system’s performance, it is necessary to understand that most components of the frameset have
been designed specifically for timemachine TMR01 and their function may slightly differ from your traditionnal road bike “off the
shelf“ components.
BMC timemachine TMR01 uses all the latest and most high-end technologies that can be found in bicycle manufacturing, including
sharp edged and thin-walled carbon fiber composite construction, which should be treated with delicacy from the end user to
prevent permanent and sometimes invisible damage.
For the reasons mentioned above, we ask you to carefully follow the instructions provided in this manual.
Incorrect mechanical operation on your bicycle could lead to serious damage, which could cause you to fall and lead to
injury or death.
If you do not have the appropriate tools or experience to execute the following instructions, or if you need further
information, please contact your official BMC dealer for service of your bicycle.

Cable routing for mechanical shifting
1. Insert the rear derailleur cable housing from the right dropout, and then run it into the frame (1).
Exit at the head tube opening on the left side (2).
2. Insert the front derailleur cable housing from the right side head tube opening (3).
Run it through the down tube and exit at the bottom bracket on the left side.
3. Install the nosed end cap on the cable housing, then reenter the frame and guide the end cap into the FD cable stopper (4).
4. Insert the rear brake cable housing from the head tube opening, run it through the down tube and exit at the opening behind the
bottom bracket (5).
Note that the rear brake cable housing should be placed on the right side of the shifting cables.

DI2 Cable routing
Note: For all matters regarding Di2 cable routing, please refer to the official Shimano instructions. This chapter only offers
guidelines in order to properly place the Shimano wires into your TMR01 frame.
1. Use a shifting cable to guide the Di2 rear derailleur wire through the chain stays.
Enter the frame at the drop out and exit at the bottom bracket.
2. Use a shifting cable to guide the Di2 main wire through the down tube. Enter at the cable guide and exit at the bottom bracket.
3. Insert the Di2 front derailleur wire from the hole located near the front derailleur and exit at the bottom bracket.
4. Mount the battery inside the seat tube, guide the wire from the battery towards the bottom bracket and exit there.
5. Connect all Di2 wires coming out of the bottom bracket to the junction, please refer to Shimano installation instructions.
6. Push the wires and the junction back into the bottom bracket and the seat tube.
7. Install the Di2 grommets.
