Titan Racing Disappointment

[Headshot]

@Titan Racing Bikes while headset cable routing might make sense on a mere road bike, I suspect you might be doing it on MTB's as well. Explain yourselves! 😅

It does seem like the fork on the empire is different as there is not a cable port visible from what I can see on the empire's fork  (unlike on the frame where the plug is visible in the downtube).
 

This COULD mean that there is no hole in the steerer on the pro one to feed the cable into inside the headset if it is this style of routing:
 

 

This can be overcome with a top fed system though. 

coming from a bike mechanics perspective. you can actually easily use standard bar and stem with internal cable routing. what i've done for a few clients is I've drilled a hole or make a groove through one of the spacers or headset top cap depending on which will be structurally the strongest part. neatly run the cable under the stem and you're good to go.

Yoh this is a pet peeve right here. See it so often it’s almost worth Nick making it its own separate category.
