droo Posted August 31, 2016 Share Part of the reason the Crap Brothers Joplin was such a disaster of note was the seat clamp / tilt design. 10 Years later and Pro copies it. So did Giant. The main reason the Crap Bros one was *** is because of who made it. Lovely looking kit, but utter rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickandtyred Posted September 2, 2016 Share Ordered an internal routed dropper. Going to have to drill hole near bottom of seat tube or possibly drill through bottom bottle cage hole. Advice from those who HAVE done this would appreciated. Would you do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickandtyred Posted September 3, 2016 Share Thanks AlanD. I read the other thread. I note you drilled on the back side of the seat tube. Have you not had debris ingress being splashed up from rear wheel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanD Posted September 3, 2016 Share Thanks AlanD. I read the other thread. I note you drilled on the back side of the seat tube. Have you not had debris ingress being splashed up from rear wheel ?What i did was tape the hole as well as i could to prevent debris getting in there. You can buy grommets to try fit in the hole. So far i have not had any issues with it. Can send you a pic of how i taped it up if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickandtyred Posted September 3, 2016 Share All good thanks. Will probably do the tape/grommet option. Drilling into the back of the tube is a whack easier as far as access for the drill goes.

Awaiting delivery of the dropper I ordered So much easier at the back and the routing can be done neater. I route the cable under the bb, piggy backed on the rear RD cable and up into the FD cable guide thingy. Worked out lekker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
