Cables and Cable Housing
Cables and housing are one of the most overlooked parts on
the bicycle. The first indication that your cables and housing
need to be replaced is an increased amount of pressure needed
to operate the brakes or shifters. Before every ride, check
that there are no kinks or frays in the cables and housing. Also
check that the housing is seated properly into each cable stop
of the bicycle. It is recommended that the cables and housing are
replaced at least every riding season to prolong the life of your
bike.
Do not ride a bicycle that is not operating properly.

gRIP SHIFTERS
grip Shift™ - Installation
1. Slide front Grip Shift™ assembly over left side of handlebar leaving proper clearance for handlebar grip. If necessary,
move the brake lever to accommodate Grip Shift™ and handlebar grip.
2. Rotate assembly until cable exits beneath brake lever with adequate clearance for brake lever movement.
3. Firmly tighten recessed clamp screw. Installation torque should be 20 in.-lbs.
4. Slide the two 7/8” plastic washers over handlebar. The washers prevent the grip from interfering with Grip Shift™
rotation.
5. Slide handlebar grip over handlebar. Thread the cable inner wire through cable housings and frame, and attach to
derailleur. Make sure that the cable is in the V groove at the derailleur attachment bolt. If trimming the cable housing is
necessary, be sure to replace the housing end cap.
6. Adjust indexing.
7. Slide rear Grip Shift™ over right side of handlebar and repeat steps 2 - 6.
8. Actuate front and rear brake levers to be certain of proper operation. If Grip Shift™ interferes with brake lever
movement, rotate brake lever or Grip Shift™.
Check for proper brake lever operation again.
