Crossing the right/rear over to the left side makes the cable housing loop
around the outside of the head tube, minimizing rub on the paint. It makes
for a longer housing but with a wider radius curve. You can usually cross
the cable back over pretty easily, either on the downtube for
What is the reason for routing the cables along the bars that way? It seems
to me that having them exit the bar-tape at the bottom of the curve would
create a nice loop of cable back to the stops, then continuing straight
back along the top-tube. I wouldn't want all those sharp bends along the
Yep, I do it the traditional way too; the cables exit the wrap at the
front/bottom of the drops, and make a large radius curve to the
opposite-side cable stop. I only use the wrap style shown in Steve P's
picture when it's needed; for aero brakes and/or brifters.

Hey Tim,
Thanks for explaining.

There are three common reasons (and there may be more)
1. So those big loops don't
I'd be very interested in the GR if you intend on selling it. PM me if you'd
like.
I'd send an off list reply if Google would finally figure out that option for
mobile devices.

I've taken the advice to heart of this group and others that the Soma
GR I built up recently is really not big enough for me. So I intend
on selling it and getting something else that is sized more
appropriately for me (6'7). I would like to move the parts form the
Soma over to whatever other
You mean, like this?
Close. The only difference is that Jim means that the frame will have the
two shift cables run along the top tube, like some cyclocross bikes run
them. The answer to Jim is YES you absolutely can run your hypothetical
new frameset like that. Whether you run barcons
What size is the GR? ;)

Yes like that on the handlebar part of the cable run. But the cables

It works fine on my Longstaff and my Spectrum. Can you think of any
reason why it would work any differently because of
Well in this case the housing runs all the way to the rear derailer.
Bill mentioned the additional friction of a longer housing run. But I
use Jagwire Teflon with stainless cables and never had a problem
before.

and that housing would run all the way
I've had two mountain bikes with derailleur cables running over the top tube. I
like it. My Singular with full derailleur housing down the down tube bugged me
so much I made the bike a singlespeed. I second the idea of asking for normal
cable stops. Right shifter cable crosses the head tube,
I have ben experimenting with running shift cables on my top tube. Seems to
me the right / rear shifter should go on the right side of the top tube so
it runs onto the right seat stay and down to the rd cleanly. Why do you
chose to take the right shifter cable to the left side of the top tube?
