Cable setup

yeti tips
the Big top has full 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.
Use of full cable housing helps prevent corrosion from the elements and keeps the shifting
smoother for a longer period of time.
Caution: the failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and
unexpected shifting of gears.

01. rear derailleur

Fit the housing from the rear shifter across the head tube and into the cable stops on the bottom of the top
tube. there are three cable stops on the bottom of the top tube, each with three positions to secure housing.
Fit the rear housing line along these stops using the middle position. next, route the housing down the drive
side seat stay and loop in to the rear derailleur to finish.

02. front derailleur

Fit a piece of housing from the front shifter across the head tube and into the cable stops on the bottom
of the top tube. Fit the front derailleur housing along the three cable stops using the position closest to the
drive side. next, route the housing down the drive side of the set tube. run the housing directly into the stop
on the front derailleur to finish.
03. rear brake
the rear brake line loops across the head tube and into the cable stops on the bottom of the top tube. Use
the position closest to the non-drive side of the frame on the cable guides for the rear brake line. next,
route the brake line down the non-drive side seat stay and into the caliper body. ensure the line is finished
on the inside of the seatstay when attached to the caliper body. this will prevent the brake line from being
compromised if the bike or rider falls.
