General Note: Take care if refitting or replacing the rubber covers, since too much force will
damage them.

9.1 To replace cable or hose outers.

Reference figures 42 to 47. When re-
placing outer cables and or brake hos-
es, most of the holes in the frame are
large enough (25mm long x 8mm wide)
simply to manipulate the outer cable or
brake hose into or out of the hole.
However the two holes for the rear
derailleur cable in the chain-stay are
necessarily small, therefore the follow-
ing method is needed to refit a new
outer cable:
Figures 42 & 43: Using a piece of inner cable,
feed into the entrance hole in the right-side
chain-stay, near the drop-out, then through
the exit hole at the opposite end of the chain-
stay. This will probably need several at-
tempts pushing to & fro to find the hole,
please be patient!
Figures 44 & 45: At the
drop-out end, push the
outer cable onto the inner
cable and then feed the
outer cable into the chain-
stay following the same
path as the inner cable.
Figure 46: Make sure the
inner cable is held tight where it emerges from the chain-stay at the opposite end, otherwise
it will be pushed out. Eventually the outer cable will reach the front of the chain-stay. Then
manipulate both the inner cable and the outer cable, whilst also pushing the outer cable for-
wards with a lot of force and the outer cable should also find the exit hole.
Figure 47: Push the outer cable all the way through the exit hole and finally remove the in-
ner cable.
