Congrats firstly... you gotta post some pics
Umm, I too have a rubber thingy; but I think it's for my derailleur... you should talk to your LBS for these itty bity parts/mods.. They're probably the most experienced with internal cabling - not to mention they are right there & you just bought the bike... a good shop should do it for free...
Good luck

PS. When you get the nokons... post pics of those too...

Thanks for the reply, I'll get the pics up tomorrow. I just put on the easton slx fork, and I still need to cut the steer tube. I asked the guys at the shop, and they had no clue. I did find a temporary (maybe perminant we'll see tomorrow) fix. I pushed the cable through so that I had more sticking out the back side. For some reason that seamed to stop the pinging. I think I may shorten up the housing and get rid of some of the slack. As far as the nokon's go, I'm thinking about only the shifter set. I just don't see how it would work going through the frame. So far i've added an ec90 equipe bar, slr saddle, alien carbon post, and fsa vision stem. I'm waiting for the american classic bottom bracket to come in. I'm hoping it'll be around 16 lbs with computer, cages, and pedals. I'll put up some pics tomorrow, and give the final weight.
