Ripley Routing
a Note on Ripley Routing
Depending on how the cables are routed
through the head tube of your Ripley,
you may see evidence of cable rub on
the steerer. This mainly applies to Ripleys
shipped in the first half of 2013.
Ibis is manufacturing a shield for the steerer
to prevent this steerer rub. The shield is put
on the steerer about 2” up from the crown
race. It’s easy to check to see if your
Ripley has one of these by peering down
the head tube with the stem and upper
headset parts removed. If your Ripley does
not have one, please contact us and we’ll
send you one.

a Note for uk/au/Nz/za Folk
and Some Motorcycle Riders…
Your brake levers are most likely set up opposite
to the rest of the world i.e. front brake on the
right-hand side of the handlebars, and rear brake
on the left-hand side.
For you folks, we recommend you route the rear
brake line directly from the lever on the left-hand
side of the handlebar to the left side of the
down tube, attaching it using existing guides.
The line will have a slightly tighter radius than it
would otherwise but that is OK. Be sure to leave
sufficient line so the handlebars can rotate in the
event of a crash. If necessary, use clear adhesive
dots to prevent the line rubbing on the head tube.
Depending on the configuration of your bike,
a second more complicated option may be
possible if you’re not using either a front derailleur
or internally routed dropper post. Route the rear
brake line inside the down tube. The line enters
the frame at the port on the top right of the down
tube, and exits at the port on the lower left. Walk
this DIY path alone, and be prepared to bleed
your brakes after the cables are routed. You will
also need to use our hydro line port.
