Internal cable routing on the new models

VERT1 · Nov 4, 2015

Just wondering if there was a guide out there or if anyone could provide some info on the internal cable routing.

I have a 5010 v2 though I am sure the routing will probably be the same as the other models.

For the internal dropper I note the cable is completely internal now. I see there is plastic plate under the bottom bracket on the frame, can this be removed to allow easy installation for the cable for the post?

And is it full length outers?

im assuming the routing is the same as it is on my new Nomad3. There is not a "plate" on the bottom of the bottom bracket. Its just a little plastic/rubber guard.

To route the dropper, just insert the housing into the hole on the right side of the headtube (right side if youre sitting on the bike) and push it (and push it, and push it) through until it comes out of the seattube pointing upwards. attach it to the dropper, push it back down into the seattube, insert seatpost and youre good to go.

There are only 2 internal routing "holes". one for the dropper. one for the rear derailleur. BRake line is still run externally.

Can you post some pictures of your entry and exit for the routing? Did you get 2 different size rubber grommets with your frame? One big and 2 small? Also, did your new frame come with a grease gun?

Edit: found out that I was sent two random grommets. Disappointed that I won't be able to complete my build this weekend because of 2 pieces of cheap rubber.

I bought my bike as a kit, but for future changes I was wondering if you can push a Reverb Stealth Connectamgig through the entire frame? My last bike you could not, and had to remove the line at the remote and insert the line at the seat tube first. The Connectamgig would not make the turn at the seat tube to down tube junction. Removing line at remote required a quick bleed to get it working again. It was supposed to be able to be done without a bleed but I lost enough I had to.

I installed a Reverb Stealth on my girlfriends Nomad3 and on my Bronson2, both installations without problems with the connectamgig. Just push it further and further and if necessary help with a wire hook from the seattube if it sticks.

Good to know, I don't have good luck with my Reverbs, had to send one back already. Knowing this is good.

I too would like to know more. I just bought a 2017 TB 3. I wish someone would post a YouTube video.
