Wiley Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 See pic. Rear derailleur housing is rubbing BB away. This after not much mileage. It routes from there to the internal entry point of the chainstay (PYGA oneten29)... Any suggestions to remedy? Some sort of protective plate as a buffer maybe?
Skylark Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 That pic is a work of abstract art..Check on the cable length, if it's a dual susser and the cable is too short it can seriously gouge the frame when the suspension is under heavy load and the rd housing is pulled tight. Alternatively put some frame protector tape/vinyl sticker under the area where the cable rubs.
Wiley Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks... frame protector tape sounds like the answer... should i enlarge and frame the pic?
droo Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Get your cable routing right and you'll be fine... disconnect the shock at one end and check the cable routing through the whole range of travel.
Doezel Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I disagree with the above. Cable routing is a problem on the oneten and I've seen this extensive rubbing before. check what I did on my oneten: Â
Pure Savage Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I disagree with the above. Cable routing is a problem on the oneten and I've seen this extensive rubbing before. check what I did on my oneten:  Cool fix but not as cool photography
Doezel Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 You're absolutely right, let me fix that:   Or do you want a bit more action? and proof that I use my travel
Wiley Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks... very interesting routing solution. Not convinced about the tape i.e. surely the tape will just also get worn thru in no time, or is the tape way tougher than alloy?
Skylark Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 You get some pretty tough tape, it also offers less friction than paint/metal, will eventually need replacing though depending on how much rubbing still happens after the cable routing/length is looked at. When my rd cable was to short the one time it chewed into my frame, luckily I spotted it quite soon after the cable was fitted.
Wiley Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Cool - thanks guys, will look at the routing and do the tape as well if still necessary... will revert with another pic after routing, hopefully the pic will appeal
Doezel Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I don't have any tape on my bracket, don't need it.
Wiley Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 @doezel my first attempt, thanks heaps for your solution... and also @skylark hope u like the abstracts...
Doezel Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 It's a start! You don't have any slack at the front side so you can pull up the cables a bit higher?
Wiley Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Not a lot of slack up top hence loose loops... will try tighten up a bit
Doezel Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I don't have a lot of slack at the front either: Â And an action pic:Â
