Valuable helper for the internal routing of all types of cables and lines in the frame, fork, handlebar, seat post, etc.
Easy to use thanks to strong magnetic guidance.
Comes with adapters for all common systems.
System integration and internally routed cables are great - once they're installed. Before that, it's quite a hassle to pull the thin and often stubborn cables and Bowden wires through the windings of a modern wheel.
The solution comes from the tool professionals at Park Tool in the USA. The IR-1.3 speeds up the installation of internally routed cables, housing, electronic lines and hydraulic hoses in all frames. The uncomplicated guide magnet system uses five long guide cables with unique connectors that can be routed through the frame in various ways using the included guide magnet.
You can see exactly how this works here:

Double Threaded Barb - Securely attaches a new sleeve or hydraulic hose to an existing sleeve or hose, allowing for easy replacement without re-routing.
Guide magnet - guides the guide cables from the outside through the frame.
The set comes in a plastic container with a screw lid and detailed instructions.
