Internal gear mech
The hole pattern in the axle plate allows the adjustment of the gear mech in
steps of 30°. Therefore, an optimum cable routing can be achieved for nearly all frame types.
With the internal gear mech the shifter cables run from the twist shifter to the cable guide, which can be mounted to the
left hand brake boss or clamped to the left hand chainstay. The internal gear mech involves the use of two hub cables.
They must be connected to the shifter cables by the use of bayonet connectors which allow a quick separation for
wheel removal. The internal gear mech is not compatible with the use of a rear disc brake as the hub cables and
bayonet connectors may rub on the disc.
Cable routing
The diagrams show examples of the internal gear mech routed via the brake boss with standard, OEM and OEM2 axle
plates.
