The one weakness that I'm aware of with the 575 is the routing of the rear der. cable. It's not really a weakness, just not what I would have expected from Yeti. Turns out, I have the cables routed wrong.

I found these on MBR... apparently the pics are directly from Yeti. it shows the rear der cable going over the BB shell, not under like previously thought.

Just a public service announcement since this bike seems to be pretty popular right now (with good reason).

Here are the pics:

The pics are not mine - they are direct from Yeti. My cable still runs under the BB shell. I had to leave plenty of slack to allow for all the travel. Seems like an odd setup to me, but it's the closest thing to a weakspot the 575 has. And now it doesn't even have that.

Damn! I ran my cable under the BB also. This explains why I thought the cable routing was weird. Thanks Jackson.

On the BB cable feed for the front derailer, they put it through a rear deraileur feed. is that cable rubbing on the BB ?

Jackson, post your bike related threads to the DH or XC forum. That way they will not be missed by those not wanting to filter through various off-topic threads.

oh yeah, sweet bike!

Squirrel thanks you for the heads up....he was looking at that last night (yes, the bike has become a permenant fixture in the living room).

In that picture, yes it is. You can reverse the plastic "guide" to avoid the rubbing.

I swapped the pedals on one of those today. Lady brought it into our shop after buying it at another. Anyway, it was the first time I'd seen a 575 in real life and man those things a a whole bunch nicer looking in person than in the pictures. They looke like a fun ride i'm hoping to get to try one soon.

Haha, sorry I guess this has nothing to do with your thread just thought I'd chime in.
