4. Center Derailleur
Cables
A�er disconnecting the
front cable spli�ers, slip the
forward ends of the housing
along the down tube out of
their respective cable stops.
The cables should remain
connected to the cable stop
ring on the bo�om tube
(the springs on the cables help keep them a�ached), but the cables
should be free of the front end of the frame.
5. Remove Stoker Stem
Pull out the captain seat post
and remove the stoker stem
and handlebars. Put the
stoker bars aside. Reinstall
the seat post and set to the
proper height.
6. Detach Rear Brake
Cable
Detach the rear brake cable
housing from the cable stop
on the top tube by the stoker
seat mast. This cable should
now be directly connected to
only the rear brake.
