Sixpack Racing launches a new system for headset cable routing which minimizes the typical risks. The Millenium ICR system is now available on the market to make riders’ lives easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won’t try to talk you into loving headset cable routing. Mainly because we know it won’t work, but also because we don’t want to put in the effort. Some riders hate it, some like it, and some couldn’t care less. If you have a bike with headset cable routing, this article might be of interest to you\u2026 If you have already made up your mind that you don’t like internal routing, skip the article. You can jump straight to the comment section and tell us that you hate headset cable routing, if it makes you feel any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big WHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another company that’s going on board with HS Cable routing? WHY? We see a trend of bike manufacturers switching to this new cable routing method. For us as a component brand, it’s important to stay within the trends and standards of modern bikes, so we checked what’s available on the HS cable routing side of components. The quick answer is: Not much! The few options of HS cable routing components available on the aftermarket are either complete, proprietary fully integrated systems or systems with known issues on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal HS routing is a divisive subject, and we understand the concerns of riders. If you decide to go for HS cable routing, you might as well do it right. So that’s what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HS Cable Routing done right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sixpack Internal Cable Routing system is the perfect solution if you are aiming for a clean cockpit, a quiet bike and want to minimize the typical risks involved with HS cable routing. It can be mounted on any bike with Acros ZS56 ICR Headsets or Acros Angle-Headsets with an additional aftermarket compression ring (11.52.106R2-AM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ICR system differs from currently available headset cable routing solutions in a few points. The major difference is in where the cables enter the headset. Cables are routed underneath (not through!) the stem. This area is sealed off with rubber cable ports to protect the headset from dust and, most importantly,\u00a0water. With regular HS routing top covers, water can enter the headset, which is a major known problem of the concept. Cables are routed close to the cockpit, and can be even shorter than with regular HS cable routing solutions, which further reduces the danger of them tearing off and creates little to no rattling noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a stem?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Millenium ICR Stem is a classic stem, like any other combined with HS cable routing, nothing proprietary or fully integrated here. It is available in 35 mm and 50 mm length, both having a 35 mm clamp diameter. Sixpack designed split-spacers for easy height adjustment of your cockpit, even after the ICR system is mounted. Just loosen the stem, pull it up, and add or remove the split spacers easily. No need to worry about that. Changing or adjusting your handlebar is as easy as ever, too. Want to ride your favorite handlebar? No problem. Want to rotate your bar a little? Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You like the looks of our ICR Stem and want to run it on your regular bike? No problem either. The stem can also be combined with regular headsets with the included adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
