„
Before starting this process, the link and shock should be assembled to the frame (see section 4.4).
„
Route the rear brake internal routing tube through the chainstay, starting at the non-drive side main pivot hole.
„
When the tube gets close to the non-drive side exit port, use a 4-5mm OD center-punch to help guide the tube
out of the hole.
„
Guide the tube out the exit port until about 50mm of tube is exposed.
„
Mark the brake tube at the end that will exit the head tube (see fig.3).
„
Repeat the process for the shift tube on the drive side (the shift tube goes above the brake tube when passing
through the main pivot area).
Be careful not to kink the guide tubes when routing. Installing brake or shift housing through guide
tubes before routing (with a few inches extending out of the tubes) will prevent kinking and can be
used to guide the tubes through the frame. Curve the housings downward as they enter the front
triangle to help the routing process.
If the chainstays need to be removed and re-installed after the guide tubes are cut, it is
recommended to ONLY remove the tubes from the head tube while keeping them attached in the
chainstays. Remove the set screw in the head tube and gently push the tubes from the port using a
sharp screwdriver or narrow chisel. Re-install in the same manner.
