Dropper seat post on a IP-256SL with internal cabling?

(1/3) > >>

Jake:
I am waiting for my  IP-256SL to arrive and wonder if I can use a dropper seat post on a IP-256SL with internal cabling (not hydraulic)

It will be 1x10, no FD and hope I can use the FD cable hole  for the dropper cable and end up in the seat tube..

I think the answer is no, it can't.
All the internal cables are running through the down tube, none of them are going through the upper tube.
If you had used a FD, the FD could handle down pull, because the FD cable is coming from below.

I's waiting on my IP-256SL, so I don't have real life experience.

But the cable has to go in the downtube and then into the seat tube
The upper tube won't work because the cable has to come from below.

I am thinking about this dropper post: http://yepcomponents.com/EN/Bike-Uptimizer.aspx?cp=UPT-HC

MTB2223:
Is the cable long enough to go through the down tube and the seat tube all that way ?

Jake:
I suppose it is because it is the way it should be done.

And if it is to short just replace it by a longer cable...
