Does the Softride have internal cable routing?

That makes for a tough installation.

Try mounting the receiver on top of the frame just by the back wheel and then running the cable up the rear side of the frames wing section.

How you attach the cable is the real problem. As with all things, "Duct Tape" is probably the answer! ; )

P.S there is supposed to be a wireless version of the Powertap appearing later in the year. That should make your life a lot easier.

Give me until this evening and I'll post pics. I've been needing to do that for my website anyway.

As far as tricks of the trade...I'd say that clear packing tape will clean up the wiring runs on your Softride's downtube (which model?...if it isn't a Powerwing or Rocket...there are other, better options). If you run it neatly, with patience, it will be cleaner than a 2 or 3 zip tie job that still lets the wires flap and hang. I use black electrical tape to run the wires under the top tube on my Kestrel Talon. You have to look hard to see that there is anything there. And there are no wires hanging or flapping on my downtube either. I ran them the same way on my Specialized E5 road bike frame as well.

Yes it does have internal routing :( and wouldn't you just know it the new wireless is supposedly not going to be compatible with the current version or be very cost prohibitive to switch over. Still anyone with photos showing your pro wrench tricks is appreciated.

A guy at a local bike shop mounted mine on my old softride Power V and he taped it to the left side ofthe tube using electical tape and it looked like hell.

I have a Rocket and thanks in advance for posting the pics.
