Interested in that cable routing to the rear mech – were you having shifting issues?
Hey HB, have I routed the cables incorrectly? I’m not sure what you mean? I bought the frame and fitted everything, so I was just guessing with alot of stuff, including cable routing. I wasn’t having shifting issues setting it up in my ‘bike room’, but haven’t actually ridden it yet, as I stated above^. Is there something with the cable routing that doesn’t look quite right to you?.
That rear gear cable is a Goodridge kit, there’s supposed to be enough cable outer to do a whole bike, but I only managed to do the Cube Stereo rear with the cable outer length supplied in the kit. At £25 for the kit, I won’t be doing that again. With the Goodridge kit you get plenty of everything except cable outer length. The shop which supplied the kit offered to get in touch with Goodridge to try and get more outer cable sent for free, so I could do the front, but I didn’t take them up on the offer. The front mech outer cable was standard black outer cable from my LBS, which was about £1 a metre. I’m not really into blinging up bikes for just bling sake, so have no idea why I bought the Goodridge gear cable kit, one of those silly impulse purchases (probably just bling denial).
