Frame Fitting on Giant TCX
I've got a 2019 Giant TCX and need some help finding the right frame fitting for shifting cables and housing as I've gone from 1x to 2x.
What do I need? I have the front derailleur downtube and the rear derailleur.
Mechanic installed something temporarily on the rear that is working but want to get the right part.
I've contact Giant but no response so far.
Thanks in advance

A lot of Giant dealers will have some of those sitting in a drawer somewhere. Things are wild with Covid, but hopefully if you call around someone will have one.
Also I haven't built one of those in a while but you may be able to run a full housing run through the frame, which is more resistant to contamination, but a little more friction when new and heavier.

Giant USA is not set up to deal directly with the public. In fact it might be disallowed in their contract with their retail dealers. Cpach has it right. A Giant dealer is the first place to source these bits. BTW one has to wonder why this frame was available without it's parts kit. Andy

If I weren't quarantining I'd go looking for the parts.
