DOWN TUBE CABLE GUIDE INSTALLATION
The Specialized Safire FSRs are
equipped with bolt-on down tube cable
guides. For proper housing placement and
function, the hydraulic rear brake housing
goes in the larger middle slot, the gear
cables go on the outside.
NOTE: Only use 4mm gear housing.
Do not overtighten the guide bolts! Too
much pressure can squeeze the cable
housings, creating friction and poor
shifting for the cables.
