Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks
pull the housing out of the top tube and
through the top of the head tube about
2 feet, then install the zip ties). Point the
zip ties in different directions. Do not cut
the tail off the zip tie.
When you insert the housing with zip ties
into the frame, the zip ties will prevent
the cable from rattling inside the frame.
The cables need to cross inside the
toptube. The rear derailleur cable should
enter the left side of the head tube and
exit the frame on the right.
The second method is a nifty 'hack' one
of our dealers showed us. In place of
the zip ties, use a piece of 7/16” OD,
1/4” ID closed cell EPDM foam tubing.
You can find it at McMaster-Carr, part
number 4339T1. Simply slide about 12”
of foam over each of the cables inside
the top tube and you’ll accomplish the
same thing as the zip ties.
Build the bike with the cables dangling,
and when you are ready, feed the derail-
leur cable through the housing. Once
you’ve got your cables routed through
the upper shock mount area (up to four
cables), you have two choices in how
to proceed. You can use our nifty Ripley
Dice, a clean system to hold all the Rip-
ley cables snug and guide them where
they need to go. The dice have letters
indicating which way is forward, and
also which cable goes where. FD=Front
derailleur, RD=Rear Derailleur,
SP=Dropper Seatpost and BR=Rear
Brake. Simply install the dice over the
cable, push it up as close to where the
cables exit the top tube and then snug
the 3mm allen. Alternatively, if you don’t
have one of our dice, you can put a zip
tie super snug around the cables right
where they exit that area. The front
