Setting up Canti Brakes with Shimano 105 5700 STI's in the f

[Deleted member 30479]

Hi All,

My first time setting up up a bike and have a question about canti and STI setup.

I've got the Shimano CX70 Ultegra canti brakes and in the front with Shimano 105 5700 STI's. I need some tips on how to set the cabling up because when I turn the wheel to the right and left the canti brake gets engaged because the gear cable rubs against it.

Do I need to have longer cables? Do I need to route the cables behind the canti brake cable so they're flush against the frame? Is there somewhere where I can see "best practice" on cable routing - i'd like it to look really neat.

Attached is a photo of what's going on

Thanks in advance

Might be better fitting a fork crown cable hanger

Re:

You could route the gear cable so that it doesn't go through the loop on your head tube.

Do you ever actually turn your bars like that? :/
