[Closed] Cable routing on a Nicolai frame...............pulling hair out content!

Just getting round to building up my Nicolai recently purchased from the classifieds and the cable routing is a freeking headache!

It appears my frame is a rohloff version so the braze-on cable stops dont stop the outer cable so gaining tension on the inner cable is nigh on impossible. I even tried to run a complete brake outer as it was thicker to no avail.

Its probably simple but just not what i'm used to so if anyone has a solution i'd be most grateful.

cheers

cable outer needs to go from shifter all the way to the stop on the rear mech with no breaks in it?

i think you must be correct though, i can't seem to see how it could possibly work any other way.

As its been pointed out they are designed for full length outers. The upside is they are low maintenance. My helius is shifting as sweetly now as when I built it.
