Thread Front Derailleur Shifter Cable through the shifter and
into cable housing until the head of the shifter cable is seated
correctly in shifter. (depending on your shifter, may look
different than the one pictured)
Step 1
b.
a. Feed Front Derailleur Cable into
Mousetail Ferrule and downtube via
Cable Stop as pictured. Pull cable
taut as it exits the bottom bracket hole.
b. The grommet on the end of the

though the Cable Stop
and out the bottom
bracket hole.
Step 4
-4-
Slide the mousetail over the Front Derailleur Cable until at least
2” of cable is exposed. Pull both cables to ensure tautness and
confirm they cross over each other in the downtube, but do not
touch each other, or shifting will be compromised.
b. Route Front Derailleur Cable through small bottom bracket
hole and out Front Derailleur Grommet Hole as pictured below.
c. Insert Bottom Bracket Cable Guide as pictured
below. Align with frame and press until it snaps into
place. The Front Derailleur Cable should fit easily in the
channel on the non-drive side of the frame. The Rear
Derailleur Cable should fit easily into the channel on
the drive-side of the frame.
Note: if Front Derailleur
Grommet is installed, remove it
before attempting to route
Front Derailleur Cable.
