FRONT DERAILLEUR
Run 4mm derailleur cable housing from the front shifter through the snap-in
cable housing guides on the right side of the downtube. Run the cable and
housing under the bottom bracket to the housing stop on the swingarm just
behind the rear suspension pivot. Be sure to leave enough slack in this piece
of housing to allow for the movement of the swingarm. It is easiest to first
position the housing into the stop on the swingarm, and then to run the
cable through the housing and out the hole towards the front derailleur.
REAR DERAILLEUR
Run 4mm derailleur cable housing from the rear shifter through the top of
the snap-in cable housing guides on the left side of the downtube (see Fig.3
on previous page.) Route the housing across the bike (under the seat area)
to the housing stop on the right side of the swingarm. Run bare cable to the
rearward housing stop on the swingarm. Run cable housing from the rear
housing stop on the swingarm to the rear derailleur.
ALUMINUM SUPER V SEATPOST MOUNTING
The Super V will accept any 27.2mm diameter seatpost. The seatpost must
be inserted all the way through and out the bottom end of the seatube (see
Fig. 4.) Grease the seatpost clamp bolt threads and tighten it to 70-80 In-
Lbs (8-9 Nm.)
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the end of the
seatpost will not come into contact with the
rear shock and/or swingarm as the suspen-
sion is compressed. To do so, first adjust the
seatpost height for the bike's intended rider.
Then compress the rear suspension as far is
possible in order to bottom out the suspen-
sion travel. If necessary, cut the bottom
of the seatpost to provide at least 1/2" of
clearance between it and the suspension
parts when the suspension is fully com-
pressed. Repeat this check each time
the seat height is readjusted.
WARNING: Use only a 27.2mm diameter seatpost and be sure that
the seatpost is held securely by the seatpost collar. The seatpost collar
clamp bolt must be torqued to 70-80 In-Lbs (8-9 Nm.) Failure to proper-
ly torque the collar could lead to slippage, loss of control and risk of
serious injury or death.

REAR DERAILLEUR
Run cable housing from the rear shifter to the upper slot in the double hous-
ing stop on the left side of the downtube (see Fig.2.) Run exposed cable down
to the housing stop on the left side of the downtube near the rear shock ab-
sorber mount. Run cable housing from this stop, under the seat area, across
to the housing stop insert on the right side of the swingarm under the canti-
lever brake stud. Run bare cable to the housing stop lower on the right side
of the swingarm, and then run housing from this stop to the rear derailleur.
SUPER V RAVEN CABLE ROUTING
The Raven frame uses long, unbroken pieces of cable housing for the front
and rear derailleurs, and for the rear brake. Note that the Raven uses 4mm
derailleur housing only.
FRONT BRAKE
Run cable housing or
hydraulic line directly
from the front brake
lever to the front brake.
REAR BRAKE
For rim brakes, run cable
housing or hydraulic line
from the rear brake lever
through the cable housing
guides on the left side of
the downtube, ending at
the rear brake (see Fig.3.)
The cable housing will
snap into the bottom of
the cable guides on the
left side of the frame.
For disc brakes, run the cable housing or hydraulic line from the rear brake
lever through the cable housing guides on the left side of the downtube. Con-
tinue the housing or hydraulic line through the guides on the rear swingarm
to the disc brake on the left drop-out. Because the cable housing will snap
into the bottom of the cable guides on the left side of the frame, you won't
need to cut the hydraulic line to route it through the guides.
