7. CABLE ROUTING
7.1. General routing information
Housings must be installed without the fork installed in the frame.
Because the brake hose (and any optional mechanical housings) passes
through the headset assembly, it's best to install the upper bearing and the
steering stop chip in the head tube before beginning any routing.
See section 8 . HEADSET, FORK, AND STEM ASSEMBLY to view
how the routing passes through the headset assembly.

Apply grease to then install the upper bearing (A) in the head tube.
„
Install the steering stop chip (B). Using a torque wrench and 3 mm hex
„
bit, torque the steering stop chip bolt (C) to 2.5 Nm / 22 in-lbf.
7.2. Rear brake

Red hose in diagram
Starting at the exit port on the non-drive side of the chainstay, route the
„
hose through the chainstay and up the down tube until it exits the head
tube, then slide a 450 mm foam "churro" tube onto the hose until it sits
completely inside the frame.
See section 8 . HEADSET, FORK, AND STEM ASSEMBLY as you'll need
„
to route the hose through the headset and headset cover before you can
finish installing the brake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the handlebar is installed, you should be able to turn it in
the opposite direction from the side the hose enters the frame
until it's stopped by the steering stop chip without the hose pulling
away from the controls. To make sure you have the minimum hose
length required, add 30-50 mm of extra hosing to the length you
measured and insert it into the frame to account for growth and
movement.
