Jeff, any lesson learn on headset cable routing? I will receive my frame (spcycle) in a few weeks and I have to route through the headset as well

I prefer to go opposite side so right side controls go in left side of headset.  that worked for me but no promises there.   the other thing is i tool a round file to the inside of my headset pieces where the cables go in and made sure there was nothing sharp and all the edges were nice and rounded off and smooth.   this lets them slid a bit and keeps them from getting cut up.

There is a good thread on the 918.  I have the UDH version and so far I love it.  I wish it did not have the cables through the head tube as that is a pain in the butt and serves no real purpose or provides no benefit.  But it is what it is.  I am tempted to just make my own holes in the frame.  Other than that it is great.  I have built up 4 frames and all of them are running great.

Sorry I meant 919.  I've updated my original post.

I am informed it is now called 919 with UDH and larger headtube 1 1/2in straight headtube.
Pondering whether to get this one or 918.  I do like two bottle cages in the 918, but this one can officially support 130mm/120mm travel which I also prefer
Anyone tried this new 919 model yet?

Does anybody know if i could potentially just exchange the back part (Chainstay..?) on my 917 with the 919 to have a UDH instead? After having a SRAM Transmission on my 947, i would want it as well on my 917, but i can't since it's not UDH...

yes, the traiangle of LCFS917 and LCFS919 is same, only LCFS919 with DUH hanger, you can use the new to instead of old LCFS917.
now LCFS919 can be booked, rear triangle with DUH hanger, in front triangle, the head tube will be staight 1 1/2", for inner cable routing,.

I would bet they meant the 918, their other XC frame that has been out for a while.

They showcased the lcfs919 add a bike show, cant find the link. I remember it sand the 919 was basically a 917 with UDH hanger.

Now that is something I'd be interested in! Aside from new AXS compatibility, I've been trying to move to bikes that all run UDHs so I can simplify what spares I need to have around for them all.

Lucky you.  My 919 rear triangle shipped out the day you posted your pic.  I have a 917 and the rear insert on the rear brake broke so I got the 919 rear.  Just waiting for it to arrive and then when swapping the triangle I'm going to replace the bearings in the trunnion mount, near the bottom bracket, and on the seat tube.
