NOTE: For optimal performance, Specialized suggests that the rear brake and rear derailleur housings enter the hood scoop on the non-drive-side of the
frame, while the front derailleur and Command Post IR enter the hood scoop on the drive-side of the frame. However, these are only recommendations.
The setup should be done based on the particular needs of the chosen components and rider preferences.
Fig.2: Choose the entry and exit port hood scoops that match the desired component selection (fig.1). Each frame has its own predetermined
selection of hood scoops installed at the factory, with the additional hood scoop options supplied in the parts bag.

Measure out the cable housing lengths for the chosen components (derailleur, Command Post) by running the housings from the handlebar
controls, along the underside of the down tube and to the receiving component. Cut each length of cable housing with an additional few inches to
accommodate changes during the final installation.
TECH TIP: To keep track of the intended component for each cable, mark each cable with a piece of tape for the correct component.
NOTE: Mechanical cable actuated rear brakes can be installed in the same way as derailleur and Command Post cables. Hydraulic brakes are installed
in the opposite direction. Refer to pages 6 and 7 for additional information.
NOTE: If running a Command Post IR, it is recommended to refer to the Command Post IR Adjustable-Height Seatpost Instruction Guide, and complete
the installation of the Command Post IR cable housing before installing any other cable housing.

Fig.3: To help simplify the installation of the cable housings, designate a derailleur cable housing for each component (derailleur, brake, Command
Post) and mark each cable with tape. Run each derailleur cable through the proper entry port hole with the cable head entering first.
Fig.4: Guide each cable out through the exit port hole. If necessary, use a hooked dental pick.
