Just get the coat hanger and fish that cable out. That's my last resort tool for issues like this.

For future reference, if a chain stay and BB area has ample room, I would just use the plastic cable sleeve to guide the RD cable through. For the RF25/G056 frame, I don't even think I bothered with the magnetic cable tool.

I was using the white plastic cable to guide the shifter cable but the it couldn't pass through. I thought there was a weird bend so tried from the other way (from the bb) and it got stuck.

Yes, the frame is compromised. Ship it to me, so I can properly dispose of it!  ;D
Well, not sure you'd be so eager after seeing this :-\ I'm quite concerned. Is it just the paint, or could the bottom bracket shell be coming loose? I took a photo two weeks ago and another today, and it definitely looks worse.
The good news is that I haven't heard any crackling noises coming from that area.

Damn; that looks weird to say the least. The bottom bracket bearings are tightened well? Can you find any movement / play in the shell?

First, good job not marring the T47 BB shell! Second, yeah that paint looks like a**. I had slight paint chips from mine, but mainly due to my slopping BB tightening skills. Luckily I just used white touch up paint (for cars) to fix that.

Seriously, I much prefer external cup bearings. Easier to manage and very little impact to the paint area. Also I don't notice any performance difference between my BB86, threaded BSA, T47 or pressfit setups.

Can I ask if you have an update about this issue?
I have a Spcycle fravel frame (G058) with t47 bb and I'm scared about this problems.
How long do you have the frame (years, km,...)?
Thanks

 Loving mine as well. Did a 5 hour gravel ride the other day and it worked flawless.
I have a hope until someone can prove otherwise.
