KLEIN CABLE ROUTING

[substance]

Personally I'd want to get the old liner out.

I had a thought on how you could do this but it's just a thought.

Cut the end off a cable crimp so it's hollow. Slide it on and rimp this on to the cable way up so you have lots of spare cable. Pull it through, hopefully it should then allow you to pull the sheath out a bit and remove .

Reverse the pull, remove the crimp, slide new sheath over and through to the other side.

At this point I'd remove the cable and flare the sheath somehow so it doesn't pull through, then refit the cable.

Like I said, a thought that may work in practice.

Thanks for the info!
Got it out with a little screw

I had this problem with a 2002 Attitude this year. I tried for ages with magnets to no avail

In the end I used some dental floss and the hoover to get it through (worked almost instantly), and then tied the inner cable to the dental floss and pulled it through.

Outer cables only went to the entrance and exit.

So let me get this right i bought a early klein frame stripped but it still has milky colored plastic tubeing sticking out of all 4 holes i assume these are original to frame and are there to guide cables throught frame i though you pushed your cables through frame then pushed these milky tubeing back into frame when done i am supposed to leave in or take out cheers

I think you are right you push your inner cables through them and then slide them back in

I havent tried this but this is what I plan to do on the Thimble-

1) piece of cotton
2) Tied to inner cable
3) vaccum cleaner (make a cone funnel out of something)
4) poke thread into front hole and block other holes with something (blutack?)
5) vacuum should (in theory) pull it through end hole
6) pull through cable...
7) pull through outer sheath sheath
da da!

Ive also heard that magnets work too.

Try it and see...

I think my Trimble uses full outer all the way through so i guess I will try a similar technique.

Go for it!

I've done this or similar and it worked.

I defo wouldn’t, wish mine had them in place!

Would have saved me a lot of time and stress faffing around!

I never understood all the fuss about the KLEIN cable routing ... I insert the cable and simply fiddle it back and forth about 20 times and bang, it comes out of the small holes.

What the heck is all that problem with the routing? It seems to be a topic every 14 days in literally ANY Klein related group!

Yes bla bla! If that doesnt work, you can do the loop trick, the magnet trick - with the help of gravity or not - okay!

But simply placing the frame correctly and simply fiddle the cable 20 times back and forth literally always works! It doesnt even take 3 minutes to have 2 new cables or housings installed!

If you want to install a new housing, take an old cable that doesnt have a head but is the plain cable and fiddle it through from the TOP! If youre through, you can slide over the new liner from the TOP into the rivet nut, too.

I never understood all that commotion about the liners & cables on KLEIN bikes.
