I will convert my internal to external and I would like to see some pictures of the cable routing on a bike friday, and anybody know if the 1,8m cable will be ok or I need a 2,5
Thanks

External shift is a Box with a gear rotating the shift sequencing shaft. the cable pulley is rotated by an External pulley directly
rotated by the main cables from the Shifter grip.

Here's pictures : Documentation: www.rohloff.de

main 2 cables are common Shift cables , housing common lined Brake type..

The cable routing is via left chainstay, And Downtube (P.Llama heavy rider option, has 2 main frame tubes,
most just that 1 big oval )

EX shift box downwards, straight cable run from chain-stay cable route..

Which is the best way to put the box down or up?

I use the downtube-chainstay route, factory* put the cable guides there it works for Me ..

*Bike Friday(pocket Llama with a 2 tube main section, and Koga [regular diamond frame]

These guys put it underneath.

The Monkey Lab: Monkey Ride: Bike Friday with Belt Drive and Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14

Why did you route it to the alternative position? The cable run looks odd. Have you tried to fold it cabled in such a manner?

EDIT:

FWIW, a quick internet search show it running underneath the quick release on a tikit too.

I wanted to put the box up because theres more space to the ground but is no so good with the cables so I will do it like Monkey Lab,I asked him and he say they never have any problem with the box down
Thanks guys

I understand the concern. But like the bike shop, I think it's largely theoretical given that there are derailer models that rarely suffer damage. This box looks tiny.

So I put the box down and I donīt like it at all looks at the pictures,I think I need to cut the frame the dropouts(my wife bike is the same bike and the rohloff plate goes perfectly)donīt know what to do
