Any tips on routing a new outer on a carbon T130? The old outer snapped back into the frame and I've now taken it out (this may have been a mistake...)
I have to reply to this for sure!
My lass has a T130 but the Alu SR version, getting the dropper cable replaced was such a faff! Made worse as it's an XS frame so everything's small on it!!
What problem are you having? Trying to get the cable back out the internal routing? We had the same drama, it's literally just the case of prodding, poking twisting until you see it, then with the most delicate touch pull it through.
The fun bit is then getting the rubber weather seal bungs back on, damn they're tight!!
Spoke bent at the end into a hook always helps, sometimes takes a while but you'll get it.
Newer ones have the cable fully internal, in which case take the BB out. My wife's XS was a pain and they had to replace the DUB BB with a GXP in order to allow enough space for the cable to get round the corner and still work without problems.
Practice by playing operation blindfolded, honestly think the T130 has the worst routing known to man, the frame internal layout doesn't help, you wonder how difficult it would be to add a couple of bumpers to guide the hose.

Not. Even. Close... 😂
Seriously... There's some right charms out there! T-130 is awkward I'll admit, as are most Whytes for replacement cable routing, but there's some howlers out there on the market.
Thanks all, ended up taking out the BB as baldiebenty suggested. My confusion was the Whyte documentation that refer to ports on the frame.
I’ll say well done for completing it in one night!!
