Symptoms
Can you tell me the correct cable routing for the Pocket Rocket? Mine has drop bars, Campagnolo Veloce throughout. It’s the big loops of cable at the front of the bike I’m worried about. How (ideally) should they crossover each other, which side of the bike should they go (i.e. stay same side, cross from left to right)?
Solutions
We suggest routing the cables same side. This will allow you to split the bars without getting the cables too tangled. Do keep the cables long in front if you intend to quick-fold the bike often. If you only plan to pack the bike in a TravelCase, you can get away with shorter cables as the bars can be removed from the stem before the stem is removed from the bike.
