Hi all.
Just finished building my mojo sl-r, and to be honest, the cable routing is doing my head in!
If there's any peeps on here that could help please???
Specifically does the front/rear mech cable, pass on opposite sides of the head tube. Also what about the rear disc brake hose? Uk motorbike style please not usa style- i.e. front brake lever on the right hand side...
Also had to remove the rear shock and the upper 'lopes' link, just to get the rear caliper through the swing arm!!! Grrrr bloody 2012 xt...
Kind regards Lee

Hi vinnyeh.
Thanks for the quick reply! I have looked on ibis' website and the handbook that comes with the frame.
To be honest i've even looked on the internet for pictures of other peoples bikes, and the cable routing all differs, especially in the area of the seat tube/front mech cable, and the head tube area...
Cheers Lee.
I was about to make a comment about how hard can it be, but thought I'd check my HD (which should be the same as an sl-r) and it's a pigs ear.
Reverb (with the lever on lh bar) and front mech along the top tube, with reverb hose on rhs of headset, mech cable on left. Rear brake hose and rear mech cable loop round the opposite side of the head tube/fork crown then cross over on the down tube to hit the correct guides for the bb area.
There's always going to be some differences if you run a dropper, depending on which side you put the lever.
Hope that helps a bit 😀
