This also gives me some ideas of modifying the routing on my aluminum Soloist...
Thanks!

My S2 rides so great that the last concern I have is the stupid cable routing.

Undoubtedly, the guy at the shop who built your bike is the one being paid to worry about these kinds of things.

Very interesting...btw, that "o-ring and top cap" trick should also work with Cervelos with the "standard" downtube cable stops to keep them "narrow" on the bike as well. I think I might have to copy that for my P2K and get rid of the small zip tie I have loosely holding the housings together near the centerline...
This also gives me some ideas of modifying the routing on my aluminum Soloist...

I just knew there were quite a few BFers who really hate the "over the top" cable routing and this seems like a decent fix.

The more the BF Moron Brigade bashes it, the fonder I grow of my S2 cabling.

You guys are really bugging out about this S2/3 cable issue. The entire world economy is melting down, and that is your big concern.

Wouldn't drilling holes in the cap lead to rain water and sweat getting into your headset?

What would be cool is a spacer with a cable guide pass through on each side of it to run it right up against the fork steerer.

Some of you guys should drill holes in your head, but F the silicone, the water might clear out your convoluted bike weenie brains. I think that's called trepanation.

Reviving this critical topic, I'll be ordering those Nokon cables. You can weave those bad boys into a pretzel and they will still shift, so I'm confident they will allow under the bar routing on my S2. The LBS had suggested them. That's what K. Armstrong has on her new S2 by the way.

What, you think a top cap is waterproof under normal circumstances? HAH! Silliness. Besides, all that water will go into the steer tube, not the headset, which is on the outside of the steer tube.

No Genius, I suggested them to you. Funny how you didn't have issue with your current routing but now are gonna take my advice. Smart move old man.
