You'll need a 27.2 top swing front mech, either top pull or multi pull (this relates to how the cable is routed).
Rear brake and Gear cables should be fed through the front of the rear swingarm and out the back.
Brake hoses are easy to do, rear gear cable is an absolute pain, an old coat hanger/spoke may help.
Don't know what you mean by order though?0 -
Is it 27.2? Thought that was the seatpost size not the tube width?0

That sounds right.^^^^^^^^^^^^

It was aimed at you, and I'm young and virile compared to CD.
The point was if it was that easy to find the info, why didn't you? Obviously more reliable than relying on a poster on here as proven above!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Without mentioning the word senility, which I would not as I am a nice person and you are senile, you are not addressing the OP but someone who kindly stopped him making a mistake.The Rookie wrote:It was aimed at you, and I'm young and virile compared to CD.

So I won’t mention senile, but perhaps dozy would be acceptable?I don't do smileys.

Oh i get it, you just wanted a spat with someone. Like CD said (cant believe i am agreeing with him) I was just trying to point out a mistake could of been made. I didn't know what the post diameter was and didn't have time to check at that moment. I later did so updated. Not really sure what your point or your problem is to be fair. I hadn't realised you were the forum police and the rules stated i couldn't drop back in later, with a helpful comment for the poster.... :?0 -
