This article will explain how to assemble the shift cable housing for Enviolo manual controllers properly.

New controllers from orders.enviolo.com come with cables

New controllers from our order platform come with cables included. The underdrive cable end should be colored, and the overdrive cable will be uncolored.

Step-by-step instructions

Tools

• 3mm Allen wrench
• Philips head screwdriver

Assembly instructions

1. Route the cable housing from the controller to the manual hub interface.
2. Measure, cut, and assemble the appropriate length of cable housing for the bicycle.
   
   
   • Full-length housing is recommended for both shift cables.
   • Make sure that the cable housing lengths are sufficient to allow an extreme turning angle.
   • Also, consider the influence of adjustable handlebars and stems on the cable housing lengths.
3. Secure cable housing to the frame.
   • The cable housing must remain moveable for axle adjustment.
   • Avoid tight bends when installing the shift cable housing.
   • Leave at least 150mm of housing unsupported at the manual hub interface to ease installation and removal of the shift cable hardware.
4. With the housing length correct, assemble the end caps at both ends of each housing.
   • Ensure the housing diameter is correct. Too big or too small diameters can have a negative effect on shift forces and performance.
