My bike came with "inner housing" installed in the frame. Running new cable to the rear brake was pretty simple as it was a straight shot, but the shift cables not nearly so easy. In particular, the FD cable has to make a sharp bend around the BB and it took forever to keep jabbing the new cable until finally it made it around the bend. Because of the inner housing, there's no way to attach any sort of string or fish line that I could figure out (the inner housing doesn't allow much space for any kind of attachment. I tried super-gluing but it didn't hold. And to make the bend, the FD shift cable can't be too stiff at the leading end).
