Seraph x68 mechnical shifting possible?
« on: December 06, 2025, 09:22:21 AM »
Has anyone ever tried to mount a mechanical shifter on the Seraph X68? The website says that only electronic shifting is possible, but I'm wondering if it's possible to mount a mechanical one if I'm pulling a cable from front to back.

Get either the SPCycle R088 or TanTan X70 if you want mechanical shifting. Same frame, except different head tube and a hole for mechanical front derailleur.

is there even a chance to run DI2 on this frame? There is no cable exit hole on the upper rear triangle. So it looks like SRAM only.

I wouldn't recommend running it with mechanical, but it could work (with heavy limitations):

- Only 1by, there's no hole in the frame for a mechanical cable for front derailleur

- Need another cockpit than the supplied one

So yeah, I think it could be done, but it wouldn't do it
