Cable Routing Kit

There should be a removeable cover where the cable exits the frame. Cables are made of martensitic stainless, so they're a bit magnetic - a pencil magnet will pick up the end of the cable and you'll be able to pull it through the hole at the end of the run.

Otherwise pull the seatpost out and see if you can get in to the top tube from there to proctologist the cable through.

I have owned quite a few internal routing kits and they're all a bit useless. You'll get a few uses out of them if you're lucky, but the swaged ends will either snag inside the frame or come adrift way sooner than you'd like.

Hey Droo,  thanks. I also thought I'd found the perfect solution and pulled the seatpost but Cannondale seem to have I inserted a sleeve or tube down it - well that's the net effect as you can't reach the cable or the seat stays......I managed to hook it with an old spoke but a huge palaver.

You'd think there would be an insert, well there is at the rear, just big enough to hook with a spoke and none at the front. My open source moulded Adrenalin, RIP Willie Engelbrecht MTB has cable guides that make it easypeezy but Cannondale didn't think of servicing....

If you take an old outer gear cable and cut (with sharp carpet knife) away the black plastic insulation , underneath are some very thin (and sharp) hard wires. The remaining plastic tube is actually very handy ( for routing a new cable or even replacing the existing inner cable routing inside frame)

 

Edit spelling  

That could work, how easy is it to seperate the tube from the rest of the housing? I know RC planes use thin tubes but night be just too thin but could pull a guide
