I know this is an old thread, but here is my "nickle worth of free advice". I just finished two warriors and one tomahawk this is the process I used. I didn't want to go with the zip ties (again), Popshot recommended cable guides in another post, which is what I ran with. I ordered a 100 pack of guides from framebuilders, welded them on and ground down the welds enough for the cables to fit. The end process is so much nicer and cleaner and well worth the effort.
Not sure how to best organize this info, so sorry if it's messy:
- I bought velcro cable wraps and zip ties.
- I tied off all the cables with velcro, using the pic's in the PDF's and a best guess method.
- I went on a ride with zip ties, velcro and a pair of scissors (and patience).
- During the ride, I removed, replaced, moved the velcro around until it felt like it correct, ie. still breaking, shifting, not causing issues, excessive hanging, interference with anything else, etc.
- Once it seemed like an entire cable route was correct, I replaced the velcro with zip ties.
- After all the cable routes were zip ties, I went for another ride or two and made sure there were no issues.
- Next I removed the zip ties by welding cable guides and grinded the welds smooth enough to allow the cables to still fit.
- Yet another test ride (the struggle is real).
Here are the locations where I welded the guides on the warriors:
- 2 guides on the top, of the left rear fork leg for the rear deraileur, one toward the front and one toward the back in a straight line.
- Under the rear seat and back rest on the seat supports on both sides. These were for routing the rear deraileur on the left and the rear V brake on the right. 3. Under both steering booms, in the middle, I welded one guide each for the front brakes.
- On the right side of the front boom, about 1/3 of the way for the front deraileur. I did this just about opposite of the front idler pulley, since the peddles won't be able to side that far up to the seat anyway.
