Someone donated a rather nice Specialized Ruby to Enviroability yesterday. I'm just in the middle of what ought to be a two minute job, which is fitting a new rear brake cable. But can I find the back end of the cable inside the top tube? Er, no. What a massive arse ache for no particular reason.

My old Lemond TT bike had internal frame cables, though not like the current fashion for cramming them through the stem. I'm sure it gave me several micro-seconds improvement... possibly.

My alloy boardman has an internal rear brake cable going through the frame with no outer , just end stops either end which made it a right PITA when i had the frame resprayed as i had to use some sewing cotton thread and vacuum cleaner which i then glued the cable inner to and pulled it through the frame .
