Got a new 909 and I've never had a bike with internal cable routing. I can't find any guide online which shows Whyte's system. Any experience of rerouting cables in their frames?
No Jim ..best advice is to save yourself a headache & loads of stress and pay a bike shop to do it for you 😉
I've had a few Whytes and fitted fresh outers through the frame.
Also added a stealth dropper. Was easy enough to be honest. The rubber grommets are a pain to feed the cables through and reattach though.
What is it you're after? Do you just want to add fresh cables or do you want to change the routing entirely?
If fitting new cables to replace existing cable: Tape the new outer to the old outer using tape and pull through
If fitting brand new cables with no existing cables: I use a an old gear cable, chop off the head, then tape to the new outer. I then feed it through the hole from the top and it's a case of trial and error to get to the exit. Sometimes you need a torch to help feed it, other times small headed pliers or tweezers to pull it through. It's easy with the first few cables, but the last few are a pig because of the lack of space.
They have no sheathing etc in frame, just holes. As above, the grommets are fiddly, but effective too.
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking how to replace the dropper inner cable when I need to. Because it has housing nubs each end, how can you feed it through the existing outer?
