Struggling to get hose through the frame, I have left in a draw wire but it won't pull through the hose from seat post to headtube direction due to tight angles, the frame contains some sort of internal cable guide but I think the problem is getting the hose into it at the bottom of seat tube, also cant see down it due to seat tube having a bend in it.
Haven't got a raceface BB tool to have a look, but if I know i'll buy one.
I think it would go much easier the other way but the connectamajig end on the reverb is crimped on and fitting won't fit through the routing hole on frame!
Any other suggestions?
I dont have one (yet)but i thought the big rubber rock guard on the down tube came off to revel an opening to help with cable routing
yes it does, had a look but can only see the a flexi pipe which contains the hose (or draw cable at present).
Its hard to get into though as the bung thats in it acts as a stopper for the gear cable outer, its only a inner cable that runs through downtube so you need to pull mech across to get some slack to remove the bung, I thought it would have been a full length hose tbh.
Had a similar problem when routing my reverb cable on my strive. I solved it by pushhing a gear cable outer from the headtube until it appears at the little window then making sure it doesn't get involved in the spiral thing. Push the cable outer up so it ops out of the seat tube. Then connect the reverb hose using the barb connector and it will pull all the way through to the headtibe.
That sounds like a plan, now I realise what the red double ended barb is for !
Is the hose supposed to run inside the spiral thing? That's what I'm presuming is was for, wasn't sure if it was spiral or some flexi tube.
Cheers.
Mission accomplished ! The double ended barb was a life saver, went straight through from head tube to post and pulled back through with hose connected no probs. Would be hard without the barb as the hose won't go through the frame hole with even 1 layer of electrical tape on to hold it onto a drawer cable.
Mine pulled back through the spiral thing which must connected to the hose routing thing at the top, i guess its to stop it rattling.
Cheers
