then a long water-bottle bolt will do a fine job of securing the loop
of cable , running out around the saddle and back down.
Good call on the bit poking out. The picture is actually of the clamp with the Pinhead locking skewer installed, which I would not be using. Instead, I would use the same clamp adjusted to fit a Pitlock skewer, which is much lower profile on the clamping surface to my knowledge.
I love the idea of the hidden or routed cable (very clever!), but I am trying to avoid them completely this time around (even just under the seatrails, where it could still be cut), as it's either a small light cable that can be snipped easily, or a larger heavy cable that defeats the purpose of a lightweight bike. I do know there's no perfect solution, but am trying to absolutely maximize weight savings/security/ease of use for my purposes.
