Anyway, helps to have help sometimes, and the Giant guide door thing under the bb can be left in place as you feed the cable in down through the downtube with the bike upright. I think it also helps to tilt the bike left or right in order to steer the cable's trajectory, that's what she did. One more thing is to use a new, straight cable with welded tip, since feeding in a used/cut cable doesn't usually go well. |

Cable liners come in various sizes. I have 4/5 different sizes from "sealed" cable kits I've collected over the years.

So another stupid question from the new guy but are the cables just unsheathed (bare metal) inside the frame? I got a new frame and was looking at the routing and it looks like the rear derailleur cable goes internal, stays internal through the bottom bracket, goes through the chain stays and comes out right in front of the rear derailleur. But honestly, it looks like the cable would eventually slice through the bottom bracket shell. I must be missing something...

Hopefully you ran full housing. Do it once, do it right and now the new cable will run worry free, protected in your frame and in a housing.

External for the win, easy to work on and I actually prefer being able to see the cable. On my previous bike (Cervelo R3) I had internal cables and when they rattled going over a bump on occasion my blood pressure would spike! I HATE rattles when I ride!! lol

OR, there is a full length tube for it, hopefully it's included... BUT why internal? Cuz it's cheaper to make a hole rather than a cable stop somewhere..probably stronger also on some carbon frames..trying to glue on a stop..

The other thing I never really thought about is that these carbon frame with internal routing have lots of holes in them! |

Got everything ready to fish thru the TT and BAM! went thru the first time perfectly. Then I looked down and noticed I'd forgotten to put a ferrule on the housing and had to take the cable back out. For a really brief moment I was tempted... Took another 2 hours of cussing, hanging the bike by the front wheel, and fiddling about to get it thru the 2nd time. All because the guy before me stripped that 2mm allen bolt holding the cable stop on. Being in a van, I don't have access to everything I had in a brick and mortar shop. That reminds me... The van needs to buy another drill. Otherwise, the re-cabling went pretty smoothly overall. M |

Pause, take off your hat, remove said pick, and get on with the show...almost like it *was* part of the show.
