Brompton cable gatherer This cable gatherer is for Standard 5mm
brake outer. a 6mm outer (for Kevlar or braided outer) is also
available. Cable Routing Correct routing of the control cables is
essential if these are not to be damaged during folding. All cables MUST
pass in front of the handlebar, to the left of the handlebar stem and
to the right of the main frame tube. The front brake cable must pass: a)
through the body of the cable gatherer, CABGATH (Note: the outer cable
is in two parts) b) through the forward cable guide, CGF, and c) to the
left of the front mudguard (for a C-type, see note below). The rear
cable(s) must pass: a) through the ring on the cable gatherer, CABGATH,
b) through the centre cable guide, CGC, c) inside the tube TT, d)
through the rear cable guide, CGR, as shown, and e) for the brake cable,
BRCABR, inside the tube SS The gear cable(s) GCAB should lie below the
brake cable, BRCABR. If there are two gear cables, then the derailleur
cable should lie below the hub-gear cable. When replacing a cable to
which a dynamo wiring loom is ttached, cut the tie wraps holding the
loom to the old cable, and re-tie the loom (at the same spots as before)
to the new cable: on a rear cable the rearmost tie must lie just aft of
the CGC, not in front of it. (If the loom is a Mk 2 type, which
reverses inside a rubber sleeve just under the CABGATH, use two tiewraps
here, and pull them extra tight to prevent slipping.) Note: For bikes
without mudguards: the LH front fork will either have a fender/mudguard
disc or a brazed-on wire loop: the brake cable must pass outside these
(and not through the loop).
