Raleigh C40 cable runs on top of top tube.....Will this work?

The three velcro mounting straps open in the middle with plenty of overlap, so I would expect them to be able to wrap around the tube and the cable with no problem.

My Mongoose Dolomite has bare rear brake and shift cables running along the underside of the the top tube and the bag does not interfere w with them. My top tube is 1-1/2" diameter and the bag attachment straps are long enough so that the bag is not tight up against the cables. Also, Any weight in the bag, even the weight of the empty bag alone, tends to pull the bag down and away from the cables.

The Velcro straps go around the top tube, so it will depend on whether your cables are exposed or if you can route the the straps under those cables. I didn't have any cables to worry about on my Fat Bike, however the top tube was fairly larger, but there was enough length in the strap to go around it. Depending on how large your top tube is, you may be able to leave the straps slightly loose, if you think they will interfere with the cables. Note that there is no strap for the down tube, only that single strap for the seat tube.

Yes, the velcro will be doubled over (hooks on fuzz) but you should be able to still get it all under the cables and then the weight of whatever's inside the bag won't affect the cables. The bike I use this on has the cables under the top tube and the are between the bag and the frame but I haven't had issue. On the seat tube I did what you will have to do, run the velcro between the cable and the frame. If you're adding/removing this daily I could see it being a hassle, if it's a one time deal I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the cable is in a tube/guide/sheath then I wouldn't even give it a second thought either way.

If the cables are exposed-as in not in housing then the brake or dérailleur won't work as well with the bag rubbing on it. Guess it would depend on how much weight. You could put a section of housing there, just to prevent squishing.

Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now. I have a Raleigh Revinio 3, but now that I'm typing this I realize that one of the "features" on this bike was the fact that the cables were under the handlebar tape so maybe that's not a good benchmark. I actually bought this bag before I got that bike though, and the bike I originally had it on was a flatbar Schwinn. That did still have cables in the front, but they didn't got out forward, they actually ran sideways (so paralell with the handlebar), and I was easily able to just tuck them behind the bag when it was clipped on - with no effect on performance.Hope that helps,Tim Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now.

The needle nozzle should work fine. I use it on my UTV throttle and shift cables. Just slide needle into end of cable and squeeze. Terry

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

Yes that's where I put mine it works fine only thing you'll need is some extra tubing to hook it up!

Nice find on that cable I'm not sure if it will work But I spliced together my own cable that fits to a Mag safe adapter as long as you put the voltage over instead of under a little bit should be just fine I've used it plenty of times

One of my bikes has the brake cable running under the top tube and I have not had a problem. I also have a soft pad in the middle of the v shaped holders on the bike rack.

If you're pulling from the top, you just run the cable down the seatpost right over the hinge to the clamp. If you're coming from below, you route the cable past the seatpost, then up and over the hinge to the clamp. Depends on where your cable housing stops are located. I think that's what they're called.

Usually there is enough room between the hood and fender for the cable. Then find a hole through the firewall where some other cable, etc. comes through. It will have some sort of rubber plug or boot. Cut a slit in the rubber and feed the cable through. Be sure to secure the cable in as many places as you can with nylon ties. Good luck. TW

I asked the original question, and found that the cables were too short (about 48") to install on my LWB recumbent bicycle with high rise handlebars. I purchased the extra long cable kit (about 64"), and it was plenty long. The XL kit is linked below.SIGMA Computer Part RR Wiring Kit, X-Long

No. Would it still work? Probably, but you risk degrading the speed of the cable. 2nd, this cable is very stiff as it is flooded burial with a dedicated ground. Can you make a 90 degree turn? Yes, but make sure your radius is a gentle one or as large as you can make it for the area you are working in.

The cable should go all the way through ti down spoute.Should check with use of cable on metal roof.

It's 17" long, so you'd need to measure the length of the top tube inside the triangle. I wouldn't recommend mounting on the down tube as it tends to interfere with pedaling. I doubt your seat tube is long enough, and even if it is it may interfere with cabling. This is the only drawback with this pump, stowage..... The big plus is it functions like a portable floor pump.

WD40 should do it. Just be careful not to get it on the pedal, would get to slippery.

¼ to ⅜ inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

Yes, you will need a cable housing stop, did a quick search http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ca6.htm

I'm sure it will work, but my experience with this specific cable was not good. The insulation started unwrapping shortly after I purchased it.
