29er / Drilling Hole into 036 for dropper post remote internal routing
« on: August 17, 2015, 01:17:01 PM »
I bought a Rockshox Reverb Stealth dropper post before I realized that there isn't a way to internally route the remote cable. For the rear shock internal route, I have a remote hose going through it already so no go there.

I'm considering drilling into the down tube to route the cable internally. I came the post linked to below. Is this a crazy idea? What are the ramifications of drilling into it?

29er / 036 build - some ?'s and looking for rear drop-outs (QR)
« on: July 28, 2015, 10:46:23 AM »
Hi guys - have been reading ferociously for a few weeks and have initiated my 036 build. Everything has been ordered and almost everything received (just waiting on some XT 11sp components to arrive). See build list at the bottom. I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help with.

1. I ordered a set of wheels that have 10x135mm rear hubs. They're a set of previous generation Crank Brothers Cobalt 3's that can't be converted up to 12x142mm. My frame came with 12x142mm drop-outs. Does anyone have a pair of QR drop-outs that they're willing to sell to me or know where to order? I'm hoping to receive sooner rather than later so can complete the build this week.

2. I have a dropper with internal routing (Rockshox Reverb Stealth) and remote dual lock-out (Rockshox xLoc full sprint). I just received the frame yesterday and it has 3 internal routing options which will be utilized by a) rear brake, b) rear derailleur c) remote lock to shock. Does anyone know whether it is possible route the dropper cable internally through the frame as well? I've seen builds with one or the other, but not both.
If it doesn't work, what cable should be external?

3. Related to above, does anyone have pointers on installing the xLoc full sprint remote? It's my first bike build and I haven't been able to find much in terms of installing this component.

Thanks for the help!!
