Okay, so I got the replacement Komodo frame in yesterday. I put the cups on it and finished the build today.

I Dremeled out the cable guides to run full length shift cable:

Plenty of guide ring clearance on this one for some reason:

Notice how the tire sits centered on the new frame (left), but shifted to the left on the old one (right):

What cables are you using? I'm thinking about going full length housings as well.



Nice looking ride by the way.
