any of you 575 riders been using avid flack jackets or any other system that will improve shifting on this frame. it needs to be resistant since its bound to get messed up on the bottom of the bike if it hits a log or whatever...would you recommend the avids, nokons or jagwires?
avids, nokons or jagwires 4 575?

I'll second that, 2000 miles and I have only had to adjust the shifting once since new!moodster said:

I have them tied to XO Gripshift with 0 problem. I am going to change them before spring on the rear cause I think they have served their due with the abuse of the rocks in the area. I can't see where these cables could cause that many problems, that's odd.jaco said:

On another note, have you checked with Yeti to be sure the cable routes are correct?jaco said:

One set=Front and rear. I would still check on the cable routing to be sure it's correct.jaco said:

-Ya, something is funky... I ride very bumpy, rocky terrain and bash the crap out of my 575, outside of initial adjustment I have never had a single adjustment or der. issue.
BTW I'm runnning X9 rear with jagwire. On my bike I have a full housing on the rear cable. The cable runs along the downtube on the non drive side then crosses over to the drive side at the bottom bracket. The ONLY cable that goes UNDER the BB is my front der.
I know there are probably different cable routes but if you have a full housing and it runs UNDER the BB that sounds wrong. There is almost no way my rear cable could be hit by a log or rock, it would have to bash the chainring first.
Check out the cable routing link on Yeti's website and compare it with yours.

Same here (in the muddy northeast, no less.) I run basic QPB housing and stainless cables with no issues. With all the mess I see around here I plan on two sets a season, but made it just fine on one this year. Being able to run full-length housing is da bomb ...just a little tuning after cable stretch.eatdrinkride said:
