Product Information
Full details
The PRO Internal Routing Tool is designed for cyclists who want to achieve clean, professional cable management in their home workshops. Its key benefit is simplifying the often-challenging task of internal cable routing, even through sharply angled frames, thanks to its powerful magnets and guide cable. A potential caveat is that while compatible with specific SHIMANO systems, users should verify compatibility with their exact setup.

FAQs
What types of cables can this tool route?
The tool is designed to route Di2 electronic shift cables, mechanical shift cables (both inner and outer), and hydraulic brake hoses. It comes with specific adapters for these types.
Is this tool compatible with SRAM eTap or AXS systems?
The PRO Internal Routing Tool is specifically developed for compatibility with SHIMANO DURA-ACE and SHIMANO Di2 systems (EW-SD300-I and EW-SD50). Compatibility with other brands like SRAM may vary and is not guaranteed.
What is the length of the guiding cable?
The installation guiding cable included with the tool is 120 cm long.
Can this tool be used for both road and mountain bikes?
Yes, the tool is suited for internal cable routing on both Road and MTB frames.
What materials is the tool made of?
The tool features a durable aluminum construction for its housing, ensuring robustness.
Does it come with all necessary adapters?
Yes, the tool is a compact, all-in-one solution and includes all needed adapters for shift and brake cables (inner and outer), hydraulic hoses, and Di2 systems.
How should I store the tool?
The tool comes with a convenient protective storage pouch to keep all components organized and safe.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not strong enough to pull cable through frame.
Ensure the frame is not excessively long or has unusually tight internal routing. Try feeding the guiding cable from the opposite end of the frame if possible. Clean the magnet and cable ends to ensure good contact.
Guiding cable gets stuck inside the frame.
Gently try to wiggle the cable back and forth. Avoid forcing it. Ensure no sharp bends or obstructions are present in the frame's internal routing. If it persists, you may need to try feeding from the other end or seek professional assistance.
Di2 connector won't fit through adapter.
Verify you are using the correct Di2 adapter for the specific cable type (e.g., EW-SD300-I vs. older cables). Ensure the adapter is properly seated on the guiding cable.
