Have spent the day trying to run the cable routing on a new frame and am at my wits end!
Supposedly the rear derailleur and brake share the same internal route through a hole on the left side of the head tube, exit just in front of the seat tube and run externally down each seat stay.
But there’s no internal tubing, the entry/exit holes are tiny and both the cable and hose share a single grommet.
I’m using an internal routing tool with magnets but still massively frustrated. Not sure if I should route the inner or outer first. I thought I’d got somewhere then realised I hadn’t threaded the grommet on before starting.
The frame included 30cm lengths of foam tubing, I assume to feed the cables through to prevent rattles. But absolutely no way I can contemplate routing things through those too. Arggh!
Help? Tips? Advice? Other than always buy externally routes frames.
