    Hi,

    As the title says just wondering if it’s worth buying the park tool IR-1 routing kit.
    Does it work as it should ?

    Cheers

    Great, that’s what I wanted hear.
    Money well spent if it works. Nightmare otherwise

    I thought it was pish.If the holes were big enough to get the magnets through it was just quicker with the ‘magic wire’ (coat hanger).If they were too small (most of the time) then I’d just use the ‘magic wire’.
    Used it a few times and then consigned it to the bottom drawer with the rest of the carp.

    I guess it depends how fiddly. I had some internally routed carbon time trial bars to do with Di2 and that kit saved my sanity!

    It depends on the bike. Most don’t need it but it’s very good for getting hydraulic lines through frames. It’s a workshop tool really

    Havings spent some time* swearing trying to feed a gear cable in a Canyon Strive a while ago, I resorted to the ‘cotton thread and a vacuum cleaner’ method and it has worked every time since.

    *more time than I really care to admit

    I use a very strong magnet from the bay and extra long gear cable. Works for me.
