YETI TIPS
If you are going to use an internally routed height adjustable seat post on your 575 you need to
route your internal cable after frame assembly and BEFORE you install the bottom bracket.

drive side seat stay. Work the housing through the two holes in the drive side seat stay and loop into the rear
derailleur to finish.

CABLE SETUP
YETI TIPS
The 575 uses full cable housing. By using full cable housing we have eliminated break points
in the line of your shifter housing. This reduces the entrance of unwanted elements such as
sweat and sediment into your shifting system. Use of full cable housing will keep your shifting
smoother for a longer period of time.
Caution: The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause malfunction and unexpected shifting.
