Hello everyone,

First, thanks for the hundreds of really helpful messages about this frame  :)

I have received the frame. I'm having a bit of difficulty to route the shifting cable for the front derailleur. There seems to be too much of a bend in the cable to properly seat in the cable pass through bracket. I have read several times that the metallic piece needs to be modified with a dremel so that the cable end cap sit more horizontally in the grommet. I have carefully started to drill the upper part but it seems not enough to have the cable properly seated inside. I'm using regular Shimano ot-sp41 outer cable.
I'm afraid that if the cable runs too much horizontally in the grommet, the inner cable may enter in contact with the tire or in order to prevent it, the inner cable will be bent too much when tightened to the RD.

I would appreciate any information or pictures on how you managed to have a mechanical front derailleur installed and route the cable.
Thanks
