Kenevo SL Brake routing questions?

[scooby82r]

Does the Kenevo SL have fully routed cable guides inside?

I'm looking to swap the Code R's for Hope V4's and was hoping it's an easy job.

My Mondraker and Orbea was a motor and battery out job

Thanks in advance.

It should have already routed nylon cable guides, however I suggest you use your old cable to pull new one in using RockShox Barb Connector or similar ...

I've just bought some Hope Tech 3's, wondered if you managed to sort this without removing battery?

Yes just feed it through with a connection on the old cable

if you want to sell the Codes afterwards.
cut the hose close to the lever and use a section of derailleur outer cable connected to it to be pushed all the way through to the rear. and then connect the HOPE hose to the rear and push that through to the front. PUSH while guiding it from the other end rather than just pulling. As pulling alone can pull the RS barb connedtor out if a hose snags leaving you with the hose half way through your frame.
That way you're old brakes will just require a new insert and olive to be fitted to another bike
Nothing worse than folk selling their old brakes online only for the buyer to recieve them and realise they're going to need to shell out £30+ for a new hose.

How do you keep all the brake oil from leaking outside or inside the frame while pushing and pulling? Do you let it drain once cut from either side? IF I cut from the back as suggested can you activate the brake lever to push the oil out?

You can get something called a barb connector which connects to both hoses, keeping the fluid in whilst being able to full the new hose through by using the old hose which is attached to it by the barb. I just did it the easy way an paid some poor fucker to do it.

Get yourself one of these barb connectors from a Reverb. Connect one end into the cut hose, other to a spare hose then pull/push the line out of the bike. When it's out simply remove the cut brake line and fit the new one in its place then push/pull the new one thru. Shouldn't be any internal spillage that way and it only takes a few minutes to do.
