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
cable housing should fit snugly
into the Cable Stop.
Step 2
-3-
Front Derailleur Cable is shown exiting
the bottom bracket hole.
Step 3
Repeat steps 1 and 2,
routing the Rear Derailleur
Cable through the right
shifter, cable housing,
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.
Step 5
-5-
a. Take cable housing and apply a ferrule
to each end. Fit one end into the chainstay
cable housing mount and route Rear
Derailleur Cable through as pictured.
b. Locate the eyelet on the rear
derailleur and route Rear Derailleur
Cable though and fit Ferruled cable
housing into the eyelet as pictured.
c. Tension and tighten Rear Derailleur
Cable in the tension bolt assembly as
shown.
Step 6
-6-
a. If necessary, slide mousetail into place; about
1” should extend through the Front Derailleur
Grommet Hole as shown. If Mousetail is too
long, trim Mousetail.
b. Slide the Front Derailleur Grommet over
the Front Derailleur Cable and press into Front
Derailleur Grommet Hole as shown.
Step 6
c. Mount the Front Derailleur if needed. While
under tension, reattach the Front Derailleur
Shifter Cable to the Front Derailleur.
-7-
Prior to routing the rear brake, you’ll want to
remove the Top Tube Cable Stop near the seat
tube.
Step 7 Rear Brake Routing
Place the Top Tube Cable Stop and 2mm bolt
aside to be in stalled after routing the rear brake
cable.
-8-
a. Route the Rear Brake Cable into the Top Tube
Cable Stop nearest to the frame’s head tube as
pictured.
* If using hydraulic brakes, be sure to replace the Cable
Housing Stop with a press-fit silicone Hydraulic Brake
Housing Stop before routing Hydraulic Brake Housing.
Step 8
-9-
b. Feed cable through the top
tube until cable exits rear top tube
grommet nearest to the seat tube.
c. Replace the top tube grommet
and tighten the 2mm screw to
secure in place as shown.
Step 9
d. Slide the piece of Rear Brake
Cable housing (ferrule side) into
the top tube grommet as shown.
e. Route the Rear Brake Cable
into the rear brake tension bolt as
shown and attach cable to brake.
-10-
a. Insert brake cable into brake lever and
route through cable housing. Pull taught
until cable head is firmly seated in the
shifter lever.
Step 10 Front Brake Cable Installation
b. Thread brake cable into Front Brake
Tension Bolt. Exposed brake cable housing
should fit into Front Brake Tension Bolt.
c. Pull cable to tension and attach to front
brake as shown.

the downtube and out the bottom
bracket as pictured.
Step 1
Shifter Junction Wire
Tip: to make routing easier, tape the
end of the wire to the end of a piece of
brake cable (as a steel cable is easier
to route than a wire or housing). Once
cable is visible through exit hole, pull
through and remove tape.
