hy guys, i got stuck in the gizmo stuff... one of the 4 plugs has a smaller exit hole (the part that is facing inside the frame) and i don t know if the plug is for the front or the rear derailleur. help?... please ? also, the cables that are passing just below the cable guide (rear derailleur and rear brake) seem to rub directly on the frame's carbon insides - any danger of cutting it after some time? i am thinking of taping same aluminum shims/whatever or just using fully sealed cables...
Check with your Dealer, but that looks like it was meant for full-length housing. The plug with the small hole looks like a Di2 plug. Definitely don't run cable running up against the carbon. All manner of awful things can happen. Again, speak with the manufacturer.
thanks for answering. ii am expecting all the components , try to see what is how and then ask evancycles. norco (just as focus) do not communicate directly to the consumer, and i do not have any evancyles in my country... looking at the pictures of the finished bikes, it seems that the small hole plug is for FD (and it has the bigger outside hole for a cable end to fit in). also, the chainstay is curved, so the RD cable is rubbing against the carbon - i will use some casing to prevent having more chainstays than the producer meant them to be...
Not sure if you got the answers to your questions. Sorry I'm a little late to answer.
The gizmo with the small hole is a cable stop. That one is used for the FD cable. That cable runs as bare cable from the cable stop on the down tube, through the guide slot under the BB and up to the FD.
The other gizmo, with the larger hole, is for the RD full length cable run. It will pass under the BB (no guide involved) and out the chain stay. Be sure to have enough cable housing for a nice comfortable loop at the RD.
-the cable stop is the one with a bigger hole on the outside AND a little hole on the inside - FD -here the housing is using a cap/end (just as in the picture above)
-one gizmo with the smaller hole on the outside - RD - runs freely as birdy in a one-piece-housing from the shifter to back off the chain stay where there is a soft rubber gizmo (just passing, not cable stop) and then to the RD. i'll have to buy another housing because i do not have one over a meter long
-there are 2 gizmos with medium holes on the outside - the only cable that needs 2 identical gizmos is the rear brake (and are the only one that accept the 5mm housing). the cable runs with the housing alll way long (just as the RD one) the cable guide (that sits bellow the BB) is a little tight fit, but will do.
thanks again jim, norco should pay you for doing their work (at least shimano has a flyer for every bit their are making)
