Internal cable routing
I am looking at a bike frame on e-bay...the internal cable housing is not in the top tube. If I buy it will I regret it because putting on in is a royal pain in the arse...or is it not that big a job. Bike is a Klein...any help or ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks

I watched one of the guys at my shop fish one through today actually....yah its a ***** unless there is a cable that is already through....then you can just chase a new one in.....if the bike is what you want though...i woulndt worry too much,....you only have to do it once if your smart the first time

If the frame is not steel, a strong magnet can be used to guide the cable through the tube. Just slide the magnet & the cable along at the same rate.
