« on: June 27, 2021, 08:17:23 PM »So I've started the build this weekend and have a couple of questions. How did you route and secure the gear cable to the FD? The bend from the down tube over the BB to the cable exit is quite tight and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to clip/secure the outer cable to the exit grommet.
Also I have a slightly different handlebar to you guys. Mine has two stem bolts that at the back, however, I cant seem to tighten them together (similar to this handlebar setup at 18:27 [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU][url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU][url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQWYPxGicjU [/url]. When positioned on the stem the two parts don't engage fully so I can't tighten against the stem.
I have the same handlebars. It is essentially a nut and bolt so you need to put a hex head in one side while you tighten the other side.
Mine have been fine. Also make sure you put carbon paste on the steerer where the stem sits.
