I have a 2016 SB6c - built it from NOS in late 2018 after a nasty crash on a hardtail which shook me up big time (aged 47)
The SB6c is the 'safest' bike I've ever ridden and after 3 years of very light use with only easy trails attempted I'm fit and healed and ready to try some harder trails thus ditch the solid seat post I've been running since I build it up and get some weight further back using a dropper post.
My question is :- how exactly do I route the dropper cable in my SB6? The part of the frame that houses the Switch Infinity unit narrows down to a tight section of tube that I assume is still hollow or hollow enough to pass a dropper cable through it.............
Looking at the internet I see there appears to be a couple of SB6 cable routing variants; mine with the fully internal routing from behind the head tube crossing briefly into the rear triangle and out at various locations and also one other version with externally routed cables down the top of the down tube then into various frame holes incl. seat tube and a pair of high mounted single cable slots in the rear triangle.
I have the fully internally routed version - am I correct in assuming I should feed my dropper cable down the seat tube and play about with it until I can thread it through the front facing part of that tight frame section and then around and up into the down tube then out the corresponding frame hole?
