How much does it interfere with the cables along the tube? My rear brake cable runs a little left of center top of the tube.

So far it hasn't interfered at all, it rest lightly on the cable and doesn't get in way. Granted I only put my phone in it to ride, haven't tired it with a bunch of things inside

It doesn't really affect the cables. I have an electric bike with many cables and non are affected. My only complaint - my audio cord doesn't work well with the provided extension cord. A little too much static.

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

For my bike (the rear brake cable also runs along the bottom of the top rail) the straps actually go between the cable and the rail so it doesn't interfere. There are two straps on the bottom, they both can go under the cable. There is also a third strap that straps to the neck of your handlebars so the bag doesn't slide down the rail towards your seat.

The bar ends are open (plastic caps come installed but can removed) and the tube diameter is standard. I can slide in a bar-end brake lever (that's all I have around to test with), so I would assume that bar-end shifters would install just fine. The question at that point would be cable routing. The could come out the back end of the bars, but there is not an exit hole that would route them out the side or bottom of the bars in front of the head tube so that the shift cables could be routed along (or within) the downtube.

Also careful! I read that you absolutely must not use a 'cross-over' RJ45 cable, as that will damage the pedal. I'm not sure if they made it immune to damage on the MK II, but I wouldn't chance it.

I have my blinkers mounted directly on my tail of the bike and they don't get in the way... They are still visible from the rear, now the sides, not so much.

I dont know. I mounted my brake controller to the left of my steering column down low....the opposite end of the plug reached to the panel without issue. I didn't need to extend or shorten.

Unless you have a defect, the only thing I can think of is the tire hanging up on the brake pads. The wheel's center screw mount should stick out through both fork c shaped ends. The fork isn't bent really bad is it?

Just thinking. My cable run on the outside but start at on the lower tube with enough room at the very top of the tube to place the mirror without interfering with the cables. Hope yours is the same. If you need a picture let me know.

Not sure, but it sounds like cable needs to be shortened slightly. This is usually done by adjusting the fittings where the cable attaches to the brake handle.

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.

You may need to slightly enlarge the round hole where the brake cable exits. I did and it helped. And yes, like the other person said, put some silicone on the inside to help them slip on otherwise it will be very difficult.

It's a mountain bike der, so it assumes that you have a mountain bike shifter. They tend to have their adjusters built in. If it doesn't, you can install and in-line barrel adjuster in the cable.

Yes, but the cable is very long. I had to wrap it around the frame a couple of times, and that weakened the braking power. You may be better served by spending a bit more on a better brake.

You could try to rotate the front mount that the tube is mounted too. Might just need to be re-seated in a better position. Make sure it is also not touching any of the side walls, that could cause vibration.

You can cut the cable to length and seller provides ferrules to finish end. The parts are long enough for mountain bike. If you have recumbent or tandem you will probably need something longer for rear detailer I had problems with the outer cable for the shifters. The sheath compresses and makes adjustment nearly impossible. I returned original out parts to service. All of the brake cables worked OK. Do a little research, I believe user ratings will explain this. But for the few dollars this cost, I'm OK with it.

The cable that I purchased was to power the self propel function. It has nothing to do with a brake. I don't think this is what you need.

It's possible if you mount it to the rear that there will be interference. I mount mine slightly forward for preference and it's fine. If you don't have room to move it around then the side rails will probably interfere.

Before you do anything check your antenna connection wher the wire comes in on the rear braket , it may be corroded from washing bike and the rain, mine wS and resolved the interference problem I had. Hope this helps.
