Super new to mountain biking. Recently bought a YT Capra Core 1 as my first “real” bike. Upon assembling it, the directions say to lower the seat post 10cm. When I did this, the cable I’m pointing to pushes out and hits my crank when pedaling. I’m a taller guy (6’3”) so I don’t mind having the lowest seat setting up a little bit so naturally I moved it back to where it was.
Has anyone built a Capra and dealt with the same thing or know how to adjust the slack out of that cable back into the frame?
Thanks in advance.

You can pull the extra slack out by pull the cable up by the handle bar.
Used to work on these all the time, sorry the design sucks, but try telling Germans their design has a flaw. all the YT AL frames have some nonsense with the cable routing.
you can pull the slack out at the head tube to the handlebars, best you’ll get is, “i guess that’s okay”
