Anybody in Jozi that can lightly braze or make a small modification? Any recommendations gents?

Steel ? or Alu ?

I suppose braze means Steel ?

I am slightly confused, I have only installed one dropper before but you need to get the cable from the handlebars over to the seat but I can almost guarantee that you currently run a 1x setup so run the cable as if the FD and when you get to the point where it goes through the piece of plastic underneath the BB then unscrew the little screw and run the cable in there without having to drill. If you're currently using said piece of plastic for the rear mechs cable then drill next to it. There's no way that the BB shell area will crack or get damaged, just remove the crank and BB before drilling the hole. Easy peasy 

My frame has internal casings which means the now defunct FD routing exits under the BB to its rear making it impossible to exit elsewhere without breaking that internal routing away. And believe me, it is impossible, therefore one simple hole and all fine ...
