[Closed] Internal cable routing through bottle boss.

I have a hollow bottle boss on the seat tube of my XC bike. I don't use it for a cage.

Has anyone ever successfully tried to run a cable (in this case, for an internally routed dropper) through these holes? It would be a bit of a tight cable bend (vertically from the boss), but you might be able to mitigate that with some cable liner and a tongue set - perhaps even something a bit stiffer.

I could just buy a collar-actuated post, but they are often a lot heavier and the routing is less pretty for my bike. The cable would go down the downtube and pop up into the bottle boss.

Someone on here has done it. I can’t find the photo or post though. Came out the bottle boss then routed up the down tube on a kona hardtail. You could always drill your frame but I went with external ascend ii which has been great
