Hey... about that front derailleur port. When you route, do you end the cable housing with a cap inside the frame, on the little included port, or did you have another section of housing from port to derailleur?  Seems like such an odd design choose to make the cable make the 90 deg turn in the housing, then end the housing just for the straight portion. I'm tempted to simply run the housing the whole way and just add a gromit. not sure how it would work out though.

For those mechanical shimano front derailleurs, its always best to have the cable housing routed all the way to the FD. So I would not recommend to use the grommet that VB supplied and rather find another grommet. Or you could drill out the VB grommet so that the cable housing would fit through

But for best FD shifting, always run the outer cable to the FD.
