Start with the adjusters at about the mid point. Screw them all the way in and then all the way out. Count the turns and then put them about half way. That's a good start.

Measure the housings a little long, install, test fit and remove/trim/reinstall as needed until it is right.

I've done it many times and still like to have some extra housing and cables on hand in case I make a mistake. If this is your first time then consider having two of everything on hand just in case. I used the cheap cables and housings from the roll the first few times because I knew I would make mistakes.

Also ask the LBS if they have some ferrules. They typically give me a handfull. It is good to have the small parts around.
