Description
Struggling with the tricky cable routing on the Specialized Epic and Epic EVO 8? Here's an easy way to achieve a clean moto brake setup and manage your cable routing without the headache.
The 2024+ Specialized Epic 8 design doesn't natively favor moto-style routing (rear brake on the right), often leading to head tube scratches. Here's my simple "hack" using the internal ports and storage compartment to get a professional, quiet build.
⚠️What we cover:
• The Epic 8 Moto routing problem explained.
• Secret use for the remote shock port.
• Step-by-step routing through the down tube.
• Pro tip: Why you MUST remove your cranks first.
