The 4X has full cable housing. By using full cable housing, we have eliminated break points in the line
of your shifter housing. This allows riders to experience better overall shifting performance by reducing
the entrance of unwanted elements such as sweat and sediment. Use of full cable housing helps prevent
corrosion from the elements and keeps the shifting smoother for a longer period of time.

HOUSING
hOusinG end CaPs
Yeti recommends using metal end caps
to maintain the integrity of the housing. The metal caps do not
allow the cable to pull through as do the plastic versions. Do
not mix up the shift and brake housing because it will result
in a loss in performance.
Caution:
The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and unexpected
shifting of gears.
rear derailleur
Start by getting a long piece of housing ready. Fit the housing from the rear shifter
across the headtube through the first open cable guide on the underside of the downtube. Then fit the
cable into the next guide on the underside of the downtube. Cross the cable to the outerside of the dogbone
into the cable guide on the seatstay. Finally run the cable down to the second guide on the seatstay and into
the derailluer stop.
We recommend using the plastic clips to secure the cable to the open cable guides on the frame.
rear brake
The rear brake loops across the head tube and into the
first cable stop on the downtube. The line is run along the downtube in
the second and third open cable stops.
Then the line attachced to the stops on the top-side of the chainstay. At this
point the brake line is swung to the inside of the chainstay and looped up to
the caliber body.
