As the title suggests has anyone done this or seen it done?

If so please ould you tell me how you've routed your cable to the handlebars. Is it possible to take it internally through the internal routes and bring it out at the head tube with the gears? or will I have to go DIY and tape it to the top tube?

Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

Cable tied to brake hose for the downtube, then round the back of the seatpost. Out of the box hose length was exactly right for this. Looks neat enough and not caused me any problems, just check for cable rub after a few rides.

ps excuse the shonky phonecam pics.

I've a 125 on a med frame. I dont know about a massive difference but I like it a lot and kind of take it for granted now! Got a second one for another bike too.

Do you have a picture of how you've taken it up the head tube and onto your bar as well? Thats the bit I think will look messy. ๐Ÿ™‚

Sorry - none to hand. I'll try and get one tomorrow if I can. I think it looks ok though - my lever is on the left (under) so the hose runs parallel to the rear hose all the way I think.
