Never ending CAAD10 Disc build continues - FINALLY got the replacement forks.
Wheels ready for collection at SBC - Awesome.
Started cabling in earnest last night to discover there's only one inner brake cable in my Jagwire XL box. Only one end of the giant cable has a metal ball on it, so I can't cut it in two. Faff.
In case useful to anyone cabling for mechanical discs... To get the compressionless rear brake housing to run better through the frame; Thread outer through and cut to length. Mark on cable where the major bends are; BB and cable exit on chainstay. Remove. Bend heavily by hand at these points. Thread back through. Mine sits soooo much better now and inner cable doesn't seem to drag.
