Has anyone fitted one to these frames? What's the best way of running the cables?
Assuming you are 1x, run it into the frame same place brake cable goes in frame. Some people claim to need to remove the bb but you don't. Just feed it through into the seat tube.
A mate and I tried to do this to my 2014 Trance and it was a nightmare - firstly, leave the old cable in place and attach the new one to it at the brake cable entry point near the top tube - we didn't, and that was the problem. We had to feed it through by hand.
Take off the rubber protector for the cable entry point by the top tube - it gives you more wiggle room and you can push it back after.
Don't trim the new cable at first - pull the entire length through and trim once it's in the frame - you'll need as much slack as possible.
Forget any of that 'pull it through the frame with a magnet' bushwa - the kink in the seat tube plus the curve around the BB means the cable's got to do some big twists before it comes out the top of the seat tube.
And good luck.
Nope. 2x
What "old cable"? I've never had a stealth post fitted before. Intended post is a Oneup, by the way.
This is for a Fox, but the process is the same :
