If you had a big stack and vigorously turned the bars right the way around then I suppose it might be an issue. If the hole in the steerer is deburred though and there's decent slack in the cable I think it'd probably be OK though. The Son coax cable is pretty easy to use but as WilliamJohn says good wire strippers make life a lot easier. Or, frankly, any wire strippers.

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.
