Front Derailleur:
1) GETTING READY - With the fork, bars and controls installed, and with the
bottom bracket removed from the frame, insert a bare shift cable in the
drive side hole of the head tube badge (F2) until you can grab it through
the bottom bracket shell.
2) THREADING THE HOUSING - Install one of the long 4mm cable housing
sections up through the BB shell using your shifter cable as a guide. Cinch
a zip tie onto the housing approximately 12 inches from the shifter end
and then install two more at even intervals as you thread the housing into
the frame (F3). The zip ties act as springs and help keep the housing quiet
inside the downtube.
3) CUTTING TO LENGTH - Once the housing and zip ties are inside the
frame and the housing is projecting through the headbadge, temporarily
remove the shifter cable and insert the lower end of the housing into the
silver housing stop in the bottom bracket shell. Making sure the housing is
fitting snuggly against the inside bottom of the BB shell, trim the housing
at the shifter leaving ample length (F4) to allow bars to turn approximately
90 degrees in each direction.
4) INSTALLING FERRULES - Install a regular 4mm housing ferrule on on the
shifter end of the housing. Remove the lower end of the housing from the
BB housing stop, pull it out of the bottom bracket shell slightly and install
the sealed housing ferrule (F5). Install one of the Cable Housing Anchor
Shims on the housing at the headbadge and seat it snugly inside the
headbadge (F6).
5) SEATING THE SEALED FERRULE - To ease installation of the sealed
housing ferrule into the BB housing stop, thread an old shifter cable from
the outside in though the silver housing stop. Run the cable backwards
throught the housing for a few inches and this will act as a guide to help
you work the sealed ferrule into position (F7). Slide the included rubber
seal over the sealed housing ferrule tip (F8). The cable housing should be
tucked neatly out of the way along the bottom of the BB shell (F9).
6) CABLE INSTALLATION - Run one of your new shifter cables through the
front shifter and through the housing. Make sure the ferrules on both ends
are seated properly and attach the cable to your front derailleur.
