Installation for Mechanical (Cable Operated) 

Shifters & Disc Brakes

Warbird frames use cable routing tunnels for easy installation  
and maintenance. Improperly routed cables will make themselves 
obvious when it comes time to connect cables to components,  
but follow these instructions to expedite the build process.
1.  Remove the bottom bracket cover via the two M3 bolt heads.
2.  If your bike uses a front derailleur, feed the shift housing 

through the top DRIVESIDE port at the top of the downtube 
until it comes to the opening in the bottom bracket shell.  
Turn the housing up into the internal housing stop behind the 
bottom bracket and feed the shift cable through the stop to the 
front derailleur (Figs. 1 & 2).

3.  Insert the housing for the rear derailleur through the top 

NON-DRIVESIDE port at the top of the downtube until it comes 
to the opening in the bottom bracket shell, direct the housing 
into the drive side chainstay tube and push it until it exits at the 
rear of the driveside seatstay (Figs. 1, 2, & 3).

4.  For brakes, feed the brake housing through the  

NON-DRIVESIDE port on the side of the downtube until 
it exits the rear non-driveside chainstay (Figs. 1 & 3).

5.  Reinstall the M3 bottom bracket shell cover bolts and tighten 

to 1 Nm.
