[Closed] How on earth do you route a front mech on a Meta 5 Carbon?

Just built the bike up for the GF and my last job is routing the front mech. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

There is a cable stop at the top end of the downtube (a closed guide) but nothing until the backside of the BB. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Not off the top of my head but I can find out in the morning. Bump this thread up to the top when I am back in work and I will take a look at one.

Does it not come with an under BB plastic guide?

as b r says there should be a plastic guide that screws into the bottom of the BB. It's proper s**t though as the cable still rubs on the bottom of the downtube.

Yep, thats my point. What a sh*t design.

I've bodged it now though, i'm running a full cable to that plastic guide you talk about.

I cant believe such an expensive frame needs a bodge to make it work!!

Cable routing on Metas is shite, irrespective of what it's made of
