CEBEP, as you'll see in the manual, this hub assumes your frame has a cable housing stop on the chainstay. It doesn't have an arm for this, like Alfine hubs do. This can be a problem. Bolt-on cable housing stops exist, but for round tubes. Attaching one to the Birdy can be tricky. The pictures of the Pacific Birdy Touring 3x8 doesn't show exactly how they have solved it. They may have developed a custom housing stopper part that sits inside the swingarm, by the hole the cable comes out of. https://www.pacific-cycles.com/birdy...DY-Touring-3x8
I checked that yesterday and also couldn’t find any videos ir closeups pictures of how the hub cable housing stops is secured as it seems like the cable goes up to the rear fork and I can see nothing more. Frame has 2 holes to line the cable through but I couldn’t find a clear picture of stop. Assuming frames are all standard there should be a solution but as there is no explanation I could find it’s not worth the experiment for me.
