length of housing.

the left chainstay as tightly as possible and fully seats into 

stops on extension tube clamp. 

• 

Place a ferrule on the cut end.

• 

Pass security cable through extension tube clamp, through 

housing, around left chainstay, and back through extension 

tube clamp.  

• 

Pull tight and clamp with the M5 bolt.
