There has been some confusion about cable routing on the EVO G2. The EVO G2 uses cable routing that routes down the downtube, and below the bottom bracket. We've not had one complaint from anyone who has routed their cables in this manner about the imaginary fear of having rocks bash the cables.
Just in case you were wondering, there are a ton of bike companies that route the cables in the exact, if not very similar method that we use for the EVO G2. One of them is Specialized, who recently had the cables in full display on the cover of a recent Mountain Bike Action. Similarly, Yeti also routes their cables along the bottom of the BB.
We particularly liked this method of cable routing because it hides the cables on about 95 percent of the front triangle, and tucks them away very neat. For people who are not used to this style of routing, we would recommend for them to give it a shot!
Does that solve the issue with pinching the cable in the linkage when the link contacts the seat tube?
ReplyDeleteIt's time to separate fact from fiction. There is no "pinching". All bikes have some degree of suspension movement that can have a few mm of cable rub. Anyone with a full suspension bike has probably seen this. There can be some cable movement when the suspension moves, but this is limited to a few mm at best, and has absolutely ZERO influence on the mechanical and technical performance of the bike in an y area: suspension performance, derailleur shifting etc. There was one rider spreading all these falsehoods after we refused a return on his frame, apparently he intended to purchase the frame and return it after having fun on it over the weekend, something we were not all too pleased with. In short, anyone besides this young gentleman who actually owns a EVO G2 will attest to the fact that this is a non-issue, just like the whole fabrication of the cable routing being a problem. However, as we are always trying to improve our products, we do take any suggestion into account, and appreciate constructive feedback and move towards eliminating cable rub if possible.
