housing into each side of the handlebar. Run the housings through the
handlebar until they exit the slot at the stem clamp area.
Make sure the ends of the brake housings are clean cut with no metal burrs, and
that the inner sheaths have been fully opened using a pick or other narrow object.
„ Move the levers back into the desired position, seat the housings in the levers then tighten the
levers to the manufacturer’s torque specification.

Install the brake and shifter cables into the levers and through the handlebar housings.

Once the cables have exited the housings coming out of the handlebar, install a shift cable
sheath (70mm) (see Fig.2, page 21 and Fig.6, page 22 ) onto each shift cable, so
that the sheath flange is against the shift housing.
