Air9 RDO cable routing guide
Rear Derailleur:
1) GETTING READY - Insert a bare shift cable in the second (non-
drive side) hole of the head tube badge (R1) until you can grab it
through the bottom bracket shell. Continue to run the cable through
the nylon tube that is inside the chainstay from the BB shell until
it exits at the rear of the bike. Pull the nylon tube out of the frame
leaving the cable in place as a guide (R2).
2) THREADING THE HOUSING - Thread the remaining long 4mm
cable housing section through the chainstay to the BB shell using
your shifter cable as a guide. As the housing passes through the
BB (R3), 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.
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 end of the
housing in the rear derailluer housing stop to check length (R4). Trim
the housing at the shifter leaving ample length (R5) 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 other end of the
housing from the derailleur housing stop and install the last 4mm
housing ferrule. Install one of the Cable Housing Anchor Shims on
the housing at the headbadge (R6) and seat it snugly inside the
headbadge.
Install the last Cable Housing Anchor Shim on the
housing where it exits the chainstay (R7) and seat it snugly inside
the frame.
5) CABLE INSTALLATION - Run the remaining new shifter cable
through the rear shifter and through the housing. Make sure the
ferrules on both ends are seated properly and attach the cable to
your rear derailleur.
6) FINISHING - Success! Both derailleurs are ready for adjustment.
