XTR v’s - cable tightening bolt. Bottom or top?

[michael franks]

Top. You can see the groove on the arm in the pic, and that with the cable routed through the bottom as pictured, it doesn't look 'straight" as it should.

That's the way to do it

As above, it is always the groove, brakes, mechs etc.

If in doubt, for a few year Shimano has been ace and we now have most the old instructions.
