Hello,

Are there any special kits for putting full length outers on a frame with close off routing?

I fancy keeping the mud *out* of my new XCPro3's cables, rather than making it easier to get in 😉

Cheers

Ricks

Dremel out your cable mounts or buy something like this

Or go the expensive way and get Gore Rideon cables - they have an outer, a semi-outer and an innner, so fit in normal cable stops

Hmmmmm... the frame is all shiny and new and cost a lot of noteage..... i might see about buying some long ferrules and crafting a way of doing it.

Why do a UK based bike design company come up with a non-fully enclosed system? it's bonkers.

whoever felt the need to have sections exposed on any bike is bonkers, should never have happened in the first place.
