It looks like the mounting clips are going on top of the shifting cables. Looks like it would make the cables grind against the paint. Is that good?

The bag does not have mounting clips; it has Velcro straps which work fine and can be slipped under the cables. I have/love this product, it was perfect for my needs; see my evaluation/rating of this product. Worth every penny, it is a great frame bag if the size works for you. (Works for me; can fit plenty.)

Hello Ben,I would make sure to pop off all the black caps and tighten the bolts underneath. If it's still off a bit, please let me know.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

You probably did not miss anything. I had to spray mine with WD40 and once i got them to move, by screwing them back and forth, I put white lithium grease on the threads. The threads and nuts get road grime on them and will start to corrode the threads and nuts. The grease will help stop this. Also be careful not to drag them when towing. Once you bend them they are very hard to get straightened and even harder to open up.

My giant has exposed cables with housings at each end. The shifters came with approximately 2 feet of housing for each cable. I had no problem installing the shifters on my bike. But I screwed up because I changed my brakes afterwards and had to use the rear cable on the front and buy a new cable for the rear(the new brakes needed slightly longer cables) l had already cut the cables to fit the original brakes(doh!!!) Unless you need housings from shifter to derailer(fully inclosed)you will have more than enough to install these. I think you'll be pleased with these if you buy them.

The wheel plate and pedals are pre-drilled. The shifter is not. You may want to add additional reinforcement for both because they're not very secure. My pedals still move around a little -but it's way better than the clamp or some other setups that I've seen.

I waited a couple of hours before I re-mounted my wheels. The paint was dry to the touch by then, so I figure it ought to have been dry enough to accept paint. By the way, we had a harsh winter here in SE Pa. and the caliper paint held up great. Still as bright as they were the day I painted them.

I think it might be a reflection from something when they took the picture. The part I got looked just like the original and the original sockets fit so no wiring change. No noticeable degradation in a year so I think it will also be OK in the long term.

I had the same issue. I guess their casting is off, in the end i just went ahead and trimmed it so it sat flat and flush. Mine is hidden under a console anyway. Just use some tin snips or grinding wheel to clearance it.

It looks like they used some corrosive flux when soldering the ends. There was only white powder where the solder should be. I supposes the cable could be cut back and new ends put on. It appeared to be good quality cable.

i didn't have that problem at all !!!the only suggestion i have is to make sure the plugs are pushed all the way in !!!good luck.

That doesn't mean the shifter is bad. If you hold the cable end tight and can shift through all three gears, you just need to adjust the cable

need to make sure it is seated correctly the load bangs may be the gears sliping

Yes. It's just poor build quality on their part. If you remove all tension from the cable there should be a point where it doesn't do that anymore.

This is not normal, at least for mine. (only 70 mph at the highest speed. But mine was .... more difficult to install as I don't use the clips that they provide. I just adjusted the nut in the bottom of the spring hold down to use the spring pull down with my dremel on the existing rail which means that there is a lot of spring tension. And I don't get any sign of water now when I go through an auto car wash.

I haven't had any probs with the light being reliably mounted in place. Having said that, I ride on road only so no bumps (weather here in CA is pretty good). My subjective opinion is that it shouldn't be a problem, but then again perhaps for mountain biking the mount won't hold up. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

With most in-wall units like these, I've found noise is mostly a symptom of poor installation. Failing to fit the unit in exactly right (using all the right foam wedges) will torque the chassis ever so slightly, or otherwise change the tolerances of some of plastic parts so that certain parts will buzz or rattle. A perfectly plumb, level, careful installation should allow your unit to hum along peacefully.
