Build Notes
Frame Insert
Clip the frame insert (WC000068) into mainframe cable port.
Internal Cable Routing – Cadence Sensor
Cadence sensor cable (green, 5 pin) is pre-installed on the bottom bracket and
internally routed through the boom. During assembly, insert the cadence cable
through the non-flared 84cm chain tube included in the kit.
Install the foam insert around the chain tube and secure chain tube in boom.
Once the chain tube has been secured, install boom into mainframe. Continue
routing cadence cable through the mainframe and out of the cable port near the
chainstays.
Tech Tip: Use internal cable routing kit or spare shift cable to assist with internal routing. Insert the guide cable through the cable port on the underside of the mainframe near the chainstays. Route the guide cable through the frame and out of the boom receiver tube. Locate the cadence sensor cable and tape it to the guide cable. Pull guide cable from cable port while inserting the boom into the frame.
Promovec Cable Routing
Install rear wheel prior to derailleur or securing Promovec cables.
Anti-rotation washers are to be installed on the inside of the dropouts.
Install the washers on the axles so the tabs fit in the dropouts, and slide the wheel into place.
Note: Two washers are to be installed on drive side of axle, one washer on non-drive side.
Tighten axle nuts to 25-28Nm and install dust caps.
