The Ritchey Septimer Break-Away Mechanical Cable Routing Kit provides a complete, precision-engineered solution for setting up and maintaining cable routing on Ritchey’s iconic Break-Away travel frames. Designed specifically for mechanical drivetrains, this kit includes every component necessary to ensure smooth shifting and braking performance, even after repeated disassembly and reassembly during transport. It embodies Ritchey’s philosophy of simple, reliable engineering — performance that can travel anywhere in the world and come back running flawlessly.

Constructed from lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials, each fitting and coupler is designed for long-term durability under the rigors of frequent packing and reassembly. The cable stops and guides maintain precise cable alignment, minimizing friction and preserving the crisp, mechanical feel that defines high-quality drivetrain performance. The system routes cables cleanly around the Break-Away frame’s separation points, using secure connectors that detach and reconnect easily without compromising tension or housing integrity. The result is a routing setup that feels as solid and consistent as a fully integrated road frame, no matter how often the bike is packed for travel.

Each part of the kit has been optimized for fit and function across Ritchey’s Break-Away platform — whether for road, gravel, or cross configurations. The modular design ensures compatibility with standard 5 mm brake housing and 4 mm shift housing, offering a straightforward installation process that aligns with professional workshop standards. The mechanical interface is designed for field reliability, allowing riders to perform maintenance or reassembly without specialized tools. Every connector locks with a tactile click, guaranteeing alignment and cable retention even under aggressive shifting or braking loads.

The kit’s attention to detail reflects Ritchey’s broader design ethos: minimal weight, maximum function, and timeless serviceability. By allowing a fully mechanical setup to perform seamlessly through repeated builds, the Septimer Routing Kit preserves what riders love about mechanical drivetrains — direct feedback, reliability, and ease of adjustment. For the traveling cyclist or expedition rider, it’s the silent enabler of world-class performance in any corner of the globe.

The Ritchey Septimer Break-Away Mechanical Cable Routing Kit is more than a small parts collection — it’s the precision link between performance and portability. Designed by riders, tested by mechanics, and proven over decades of Break-Away experience, it ensures every journey begins and ends with flawless mechanical control.
