  • So many people struggle with internal routing. Worse off than running internal shift cables is hydraulic disc brake hose. Well not really. Take a watch of how easy it is using a shift cable and ferrule to help guide the hydro line right through the inside of the frame

    Used this trick with mechanic’s wire in place of a shift cable, to route the brake cable all the way from the chain stay through to the head tube. Worked great. Even on a Time frame with a Hambini 1-piece BB already installed.

    The derailleur cable with the housing was the only thing that worked. It took 2 hours of fiddling with tweezers and pliers before I tried the cable and housing end trick and it took 10 mins to do one side. What a life saver.

    I’m glad I found this video. I’m about to go from a flat bar to a drop bar and the bike came with hydraulic calipers, and the brifters I’m going to use are compatible with mechanical brakes. I’m still going to run hydraulic but they’re cable actuated so those hoses gotta go.

  • @ducati7dark
    @ducati7dark 3 роки тому +1

    This is brilliant! Do you ever need to add some tape over the ferrule for extra security? My stigmata has a tight bend around the BB, and I'm worried about the ferrule coming off the hose.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  3 роки тому +1

      Smooth pressure and it won't come off. Adding tape will increase the diameter and some holes it won't fit through

  • @rterry2752
    @rterry2752 2 роки тому

    Have a Turbo Levo 2019 and the cable is internally routed entirely from rear caliper to the fork head. The loosely mounted brake cable would not work cause you have to pull.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  2 роки тому

      You shouldn't need to pull. Push on the break hose and only lightly tug on the cable to help guide the hose

      But really, then you just use a seal pick. Lots of way to do internal cable housing.
