Ok so I sold some wheels so I've emailed SJS to cancel the LX hub and I'm going to drop a bit more cash on probably the jtek hub. That means a rear light is more of a possibility.
Only thing is I can't figure out how to route the cable to the rear light.
My frame is painted so I'd rather avoid brazing anything if possible. And the bike is fixed with just a front brake so there's no pre-existing cabling or cable routing going to the back of the frame.
Drilling the downtube and running a cable internally is a possibility but anyone got any ideas that don't involve drilling but still look neat?
Paint is hammerite with splatters over the top so a real bumpy finish which means it's going to be difficult to stick anything like a di2 guide down, plus I hear they don't stick very well at the best of times.
I kind of wonder about just gluing a cable along the underside of the top (or down) tube.
Steel steerer on the fork? You could go front light - bottom of the steerer - up the steerer - through a hole into the steerer into the top tube - along the top tube - pop out of the top tube in front of the seat tube, connect to light.
Yeah steel steerer. Did wonder about going through the steerer, the wall thickness would definitely make me feel better about drilling it but was thinking the action of steering (or more if the bike were to fall and the steering flopped around) would be trying to shear the cable.
