CABLE HOUSING SETUP
The SB6c uses internally routed full length 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. By routing that housing internally we add to the protection form the
elements and clean up the lines of the bike. No more zip ties to snag your shorts on and no
more loose housing rattling around on your paint.
Do not remove any of the housing guide tubes that are installed in your frame and swingarm.
They will be used to pull your housing through the frame. If you are replacing housing, use the
old housing to pull your new housing through the frame.
If you don't have the tubes or old housig as a guide you can fish for it, but it will be easier to
get an internal routing tool.
Caution: The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and
unexpected shifting of gears.
REAR BRAKE AND DERAILLEUR ROUTING.
Your rear brake and shifter housing will run parallel around the left side of the head tube. From there you
will run those two into the housing ports on the non drive side of the head tube. The Rear shift housing and
brake housing exit the front triangle just above the Infinity Link. The brake exiting on the non drive side, the
shift exiting on the drive side, both continuing into the coorispoding port on the swing arm.
*Use rubbiung alcohol to lubricate the housing. It will pass through the rubber grommets much easier.
*It may be easier in some cases to run the housing from the back of the bike up.

REAR BRAKE CONTINUED
The rear brake housing will exit the swing arm
via the port on the chainstay and go from there
directly to the brake caliper. If possible, adjust
the housing/caliper angle to give the housing the
cleanest, shortest route to the port.
DROPPER POST
The dropper post housing will exit teh frame at
the upper port on the drive side of the head tube.
It is best to run the housing from the seatpost up
using either the guide provided with a new frame
or the previous housing. Without a guide, it can
be difficult to fish the housing into the downtube,
but it is possible.
REAR DERAILLEUR CONTINUED
The rear shift housing exits the swing arm on
the top, just above the derailleur. Make sure
you leave enough slack in the housing to allow
for a smooth curve from the housing port to the
derailleur.
