KEEP A CABLE INSIDE THE GORE LINER AT ALL TIMES WHEN ROUTING IT
THROUGH THE FRAME. THIS PREVENTS KINKING THE LINER.
Rear Derailleur:
1) GETTING READY - With the fork, bars, controls, and CYA adapters
removed from the frame, install the bolt-on cable guide inside the BB shell
so the guide tube comes out of the front derailleur cable hole on the back
of the seat tube. Use a shifter cable threaded into the seat tube exit hole
as a guide for the tube (F3). Make sure to install the bolt that holds it in
place (F4).
2) INSTALL THE REAR HOUSING - Run a piece of 5mm GORE housing (ap-
prox. 540mm for SHIMANO, 500mm for SRAM) through the chain stay from
dropout end to the bottom bracket shell. Install a brass 5mm ferrule on
the housing at the BB shell and insert the end into the bolt-on cable guide.
Install a brass 5mm ferrule at the derailleur end (F5).
3) CREATE A CABLE GUIDE - Insert an old shifter cable through the bottom
bracket until it can be pulled out through the headbadge (F6).
4) INSTALL THE LINER - Install the correct washer or cable housing ferrule
on the liner according to head badge type (F1 or F2 - see diagram on previ-
ous page). Slide the liner into the badge over the guide cable (F7) until it
just peeks into the bottom bracket shell (F8). Remove the guide cable from
the liner.
5) INSTALL THE CABLE - Trim 4mm shifter housing to correct length from
the shifter to the opposite hole in the head badge (F9). Route GORE shifter
cable from the shifter through the cable housing into the liner at the head
tube badge, pushing the cable all the way through the liner to the bottom
bracket shell. Carefully guide the cable and liner into the 5mm GORE hous-
ing (F10) and gently push it through the housing without kinking the liner.
6) INSTALL SEAL - Install rear derailleur and trim the GORE liner where it
exits the cable housing and derailleur’s cable stop. Install short rubber
seal on the guide tube over the shifter cable.
