Cracking week, brother 👌shame you can't make it next year 😢

Top tunes and riding!

Talk about a PROPER tip, worked perfect. Thank you sir

Worked great on my Megatower, thank you!

Nice ride ls that a whistle or is it the guy wheezing?

That's was me at 2:13

It worked! Second push and bam!

Nice Man 👍🏻🙋

Start from the entrance of the cable, routing by the rear suspension and leave enough out to where you can run it up into the seat post and then you can run the rest of it all the way up to the handlebars way easier that’s what I do and it’s so much faster❤😊

Nomad V6, found this replacing the stock Reverb. I didn't 'sharpen' my hose but I found a great solution to help guide the new hose into place... leave the Reverb hydraulic line, insert your wire cable into the hydraulic hose (from the seat post end), then holding the cable pull the hydraulic hose out of the head tube leaving the cable behind. Feed your new hose (cable housing) over the cable and push it in from the head tube. The wire will be pretty stiff down at the bottom of the downtube so it guides the new hose perfectly. Easy.

Really enjoyed this video format and your thoughts on riding an ebike. There's definitely better specced bikes out there for less money.

epic fix. thanks for this

Mate, that was such a fun night! Really enjoyed it 😂

Nice riding there pal 👌

Great video and a great day 😂

Perfect thanks. I'm about to do the same on my V1 Megatower from a Reverb to cable.

This worked for me on a Nomad v5, saved me more cursing and dark thoughts toward this frame.

Awesome 😯

Worked like a champ, thanks! Worked on first try after the tips, wouldn't go in prior to that.

Make sure your clutch is on on the derailleur, that’ll stop the slap nearly 100%

Could not get it through on a bronson v4, worked first time after following this!

Thanks!!

Nailed it! This worked to solve my problem on a v3 Hightower.

The council are bastards man! I was going to head to hemlock for the first time in the morning, that's why I'm watching this! They flattened the trails near mine and erected a sign saying "You can ride the trails at Cannock as they're sanctioned", that's fucking 21 miles away! How are kids supposed to travel that far?!

hey big senderrrr!!!!!

I need to back out

That step up is mint.

Great video thanks man. Recently discovered this side to Wharncliffe and love it.

My tallboy is the same absolute dog shit design, will give this a method a try

Same on my 5010 v4, I tried your technique but unfortunately couldn't get the cable housing to turn. So tried via the seat tube as you can see the internal routing at the bottom on the drive side if you use a tourch. I used some freehub oil and it went in very easily, no problems with the bend.

You are a lifesaver!! Your method works magically!! 🎉😁

Just one question about the Megatower - it looks like all the spray from the rear tire is going straight into the suspension link? Is that so? If yes - is it difficult to clean it well? How did you manage that?

Exact issue I am facing with my V4 Nomad! I solved the issue by pulling the cable through the black housing, so that it gets stuck at the handlebar end. Then you can pull on the cable, thus « routing » the housing out of the frame. Worked quickly!

Oh, it’s MY bike now!

How tall are you and what size did you go for? Also do you still have the bike after 3 years?

I’m about to change my cable this week , great tip

Thanks for the tip mang

Thanks for the trail names. Well ridden in those conditions. Good lines and good speed on Delayed Pleasure in particular.

i found an easier solution by twisting the housing as i pushed it in it was able to find its way through although I did lubricate the tip as you did but it went through pretty quick. same problem getting rid of a squishy reverb. thanks!

Next time try routing the inner cable first. Once it’s through insert it into the outer and go from seattube forward, pulling the inner from the front of your bike at the same rate as the outer from the back.

Just as a general question re slack ht vs full sus - do you find yourself riding it like a modern full sus, because of the geo, then getting kicked in the arse because there's no rear suspension?

Love it

Nice vid James 👍

Yes lad, get them runs in before the major slops comes, top riding there pal 🤙

How’s Dave performing now after 3 years bro? Hard finding anything on this bike so appreciate the video

EDIT: there is an easier way to do this. 1) With drop post removed, insert new dropper cable (no housing) from the front of the bike, actuator first, until it pops out of the seat tube. Use light lube if needed. 2) Use the cable as a guide to lead the cable housing from the front of the bike, pushing the cable housing from the front of the bike and pulling the cable from the seat tube until you see the cable housing emerge. 3) Place the actuator in the drop post, clamp the seat at the desired height. 4) Put a (preferably metal) end cap on the cable housing at the front of the bike. 5) Tighten and tension the cable into the lever, making sure the end cap is securely fit into the barrell adjuster. I'm an amateur mechanic and this easily and repeatedly worked for me.

I struggled for ages with my new V4.1 frame, worked first time after watching this! Thanks!

How did you manage the timing system? Setting off in intervals? Or waiting for each rider to finish the stage?

what a great weekend that was👍

Thanks a lot for your video. Didn't manage to do with your tips but I found an even more efficient way, that worked first try. and is faster : - Put the cable in your cable housing until the head of the cable (the end of the cable that is linked to the dropper post) reaches the end of the hosing. - Put some adhesive tape arround the head of the cable and the end of the housing to make sure that they stay together. - Insert the cable and housing into the frame routing with the the cable head (that has some adhesive tape on it first). The cable head is actually going super smoothly (compared to the housing) in the frame and it's going to bring the housing with it thanks to the adhesive tape.
