Installation for Mechanical (Cable Operated)
Shifters & Disc Brakes
Warbird frames use cable routing tunnels for easy installation
and maintenance. Improperly routed cables will make themselves
obvious when it comes time to connect cables to components,
but follow these instructions to expedite the build process.
1. Remove the bottom bracket cover via the two M3 bolt heads.
2. If your bike uses a front derailleur, feed the shift housing
through the top DRIVESIDE port at the top of the downtube
until it comes to the opening in the bottom bracket shell.
Turn the housing up into the internal housing stop behind the
bottom bracket and feed the shift cable through the stop to the
front derailleur (Figs. 1 & 2).
3. Insert the housing for the rear derailleur through the top
NON-DRIVESIDE port at the top of the downtube until it comes
to the opening in the bottom bracket shell, direct the housing
into the drive side chainstay tube and push it until it exits at the
rear of the driveside seatstay (Figs. 1, 2, & 3).
4. For brakes, feed the brake housing through the
NON-DRIVESIDE port on the side of the downtube until
it exits the rear non-driveside chainstay (Figs. 1 & 3).
5. Reinstall the M3 bottom bracket shell cover bolts and tighten
to 1 Nm.
