It doesn't rub on the spokes either if it comes loose :daumenhoch:

Post by: dordymush on May 16, 2013, 09:18 PM: never knew anybody that run em inside bitd.

Title: Re: Potts Mod: Cable in or out of fork?
Post by: not johndub71 on May 17, 2013, 10:13 AM: In. I find a stock cable flexes out when you endo. Ties help, but inside fork works and looks nicer.

Post by: ED209 on May 17, 2013, 10:21 AM: Inside always... never ran them outside BITD or it would have caught on your foot :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Potts Mod: Cable in or out of fork?
Post by: That Swan Guy on May 17, 2013, 10:23 AM: I must agree with Dordy, I never saw anybody with it inside bitd, but the overwhelming consensus is inside.
It does look little odd inside but it doesn't rub on the decal. Which is nice.

Cheers chaps, inside it is :daumenhoch:

Oh there it is!

That just looks like it will restrict loads of movement!
And Mach One forks as well.

I do love that colour.
