Hi,
Loving my Trek Rail 9.8 XT, already made some changes which I’ll highlight in the existing thread. I do have one concern though and that’s the cabling existing the bottom bracket area going to the chain stays - so the sensor, brake line and rear mech cable.
They currently cross over on exit and rub against each other and the stays. I would have thought that exiting straight into each stay would have been better. Is mine a one-off? I’m thinking of dropping the motor and re-routing them straight. Has anyone done this?
I know it would involve a complete re-route of the brake line from the lever because that’s of the banjo at the callipers - I’d actually prefer for the hose to enter on the right side of the head tube anyway so it would be two birds, one stone - UK spec, RH rear brake, FYI.
There’s already some rub and I can’t see the cables lasting terribly long in the current format. See pics:
Cheers,
James
