Hi, Everyone.
I have the above and have fitted it to my bike ok. It allows top and bottom cable access, and I need top. However, the cable routing seems very poor as the cable has to come a long way away from the seat tube to reach the clamp, making a triangle shape. I am concerned that this will catch on things and wonder what I can do.
All suggestions gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Dom.
I think they sold me a bottom cable shifter, and I need top!
what will it catch on ? can you post pics
Hi Dom,
Top pull should look similar to this;

Admittedly looks a bit odd but is correct, works OK, and doesn't catch on anything!
PS. Any luck with headset?
Yep, it looks like that. At least I can crack on now. Still reckon it's not the best system, however. Thanks for your help, Coleman.
Kind regards,
Dom.
Coleman - the headset has been ordered after a chat with Giant. I went for an FSA Orbit integrated and followed your advice too about bearing angles of 36 and 45 degrees. Got it for £18, which I feel is a good price. Now I am after some Hope Pro 2s with Mavic XC717/719 (what's the difference?) and some Rebas!
Thanks again for your help,
Dom.
Dom. Thanks for update. Hope headset fits- will feel guilty if bearings are not 36 x 45!
Sounds a good price for the FSA headset. Hope you enjoy your new frame.
Cheers.
