Drilling frame for reverb stealth

[Skott5]

Haha brilliant could you take a close up picture of the entry hole for your droppers hose in the seat tube?

Cool, over the weekend, I'm not anywhere near the bike at the moment.

Frame was drilled as it came out of the box before the first ride even , and I've had it about 4 months now, but I've given it beans in that time and so sign of issues at all.

I don't forsee any problems

Frame still okay post drilling?

For what its worth, I drilled my 26 alu frame (thread on the hub also) a few month back for stealth dropper routing and its been perfect, no issues at all. I drilled it at the back and bottom of the seat tube.

Wheeler2 why not try something similar to this?

So i managed to drill through. While slowly going through i heard a pop. The pop was the pop rivet which came loose. So basically i didnt even touch the alumium if the frame with the drill bit. Just pulled the pop rivet out the frame and wala, hole was the perfect size. Can take pics of what it looks like ? But i basically now made use of a hole which was already there.

My experience too. Pop the rivet out and the cable runs through the bottle cage hole.

 

Done. Easy. Effective
