Guess this would be the time to insert the noise-cancelling foam as well?

This is the last step. You can do it before installing the handlebar and fork, but reinstalling the handlebar and fork isn't that difficult.

The order is clear to me now, however the lenght of the housing is a bit difficult to guess (the handlebar is not on the bike). Offcourse I can do an educated guess. And too long is better than too short, but still. Is there anybody with a 17,5" frame and a 700mm handlebar that can measure the lenght of the housing? The backside is no problem, the derailleur is allready on, and the lenght can be more or less the same as on my previous bike.

My housings are long enough it won't touch the frame when I pull the steer complete to the right or to the left.
So, turn your steer complete to the right (shifter installed, uncut housing attached to the shifter (somehow)), guide your housing to the insert point of the frame, keep 2 cm clear between the curved housing and the frame. And this is the length you need. That's it.

Thnx, got the lenght figured out more or less (at least, on the front). Confused with the parts I should use when installing the housing.

I've got an XTR shifter and it came with 1 cable (which I cut in two parts), 2 end caps, some other stuff (guess for frames using external routing).

I think this should be the right way:
FRONT
housing goes into shifter without end cap [edit] wrong, it looks like I should use an end cap here [/edit]
housing goes into frame with end cap

BACK
Frame to cable, with end cap
Housing to derailler, whith end cap with tongue
Unprotected cable to last part of derailler, partly shielded

This makes 3 end caps, than why are the only 2 included with the XTR shifter??

Correct?
