JET 9 RDO CABLE ROUTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Required Parts:
(2x) Shifter Cables (not included)
(2x) 4mm Cable Housing (enough for shifter sections, 110mm for under
the BB (rear), chainstay cable exit to rear derailleur, not included)
(4x or 6x) 4mm Housing Ferrules (not included) (see F1/F2)
(2x or 4x) Cable Housing Frame End Stop Ferrules (included) (see F1/F2)
Your favorite beer (definitely not included)
Note: if your JET 9 RDO already has full cable housing from the BB to the
rear derailleur, contact NINER for a shift kit containing the necessary parts
to match the cable routing diagram and instructions
1) GETTING READY - Your Jet 9 RDO comes with temporary nylon guide
tubes installed in the downtube and chainstay. Do not remove these, but
move them out of the way and install your headset, fork and handlebar per
the manufacturer’s directions. This will allow you to determine the correct
housing length from your shifters to the headbadge. Housing should
be crossed and cut long enough to allow bars to turn approximately 90
degrees (F3).
2) HEADBADGE FERRULES - If your frame has a headbadge with built-in
cable stops (F1), you will use standard 4mm housing ferrules where the
cable enters the headbadge. If your frame has a headbadge with no stops
(F2), you will need to use the pictured black plastic 4mm Frame End Stop
ferrules to hold the housing in the headbadge.
We do not recommend the use of metal cable housing ferrules.
Metal ferrules can damage the protective coating on the magnesium
head tube badge causing the ferrules to seize. This can also cause
corrosion of the badge itself, as well as creaking of the metal-on-
metal interface.
3) THREADING THE CABLES - Remove the cable chuck at the bottom
bracket to allow cable routing. Remove the upper bolt on the shock. This
allows the swingarm to move, improving access throughout the routing
procedure. Remove the fork to gain access to the temporary nylon tubes
and pull enough tubing out that the ends are accessible for cable routing
(F4). Thread your cables through your shifter, cable housing ferrules and
housing into the headbadge and all the way through the downtube guide
tubes. Once the cables have exited the BB, pull these downtube guide
tubes out of the frame (do not remove chainstay guide tube yet). Be careful
not to cross the cables more than once in the frame as it can cause poor
shifting.
4) CUTTING TO LENGTH - Thread both cables through the cable chuck on
the underside of the bottom bracket and reinstall the chuck. The front
cable is now ready to be attached to the front derailleur. The rear cable
should be passed through a 4mm housing ferrule, 110mm of 4mm housing
and a Frame End Stop ferrule (F6). Run the cable into the remaining
temporary nylon guide tube in the chain stay until it comes out the other
end. Remove the chainstay guide tube. The 110mm housing will seat in
the chuck and chainstay as shown in (F7).
5) FINISHING - Use the other Frame End Stop ferrule on the exit hole of the
chainstay (F8) and cut the housing to length for your rear derailleur (approx.
170mm for SHIMANO, 120mm for SRAM) Attach cables to derailleurs and
adjust according to manufacturer’s instructions. Go Ride!
