New bike putting me in agony

[Citius]

I like arse up head down (on the bike)

The pics you posted seem to contradict that.

Thats also a huge amount of cable for the RD.

Although not as long as that, Sram do seem to recommend a very long rear outer. If you follow their guidelines on a large frame some non Sram standard inners are almost too short.

Pay £100 and get a bike fit. There's not much point asking on here about a particular bike giving you pain. There's so many things to think about

At the very least, could you set the bike up on a turbo and take some pics & post here?

Its how sram instructs you to do it, the angle the cable comes out of the chainstay that was the correct length to get it to enter the mech in a streight line, if it goes in at an angle it mucks up the shifting, same with my old tarmac

Yup, having never run or used SRAM, it's TNM TO @Hacienda71 for the explanation

I agree it looks rather silly they recocment 33 cm for most frames but with internals it depends where it exits from

Apart from the weird aesthetics of it, I would be worried it would foul the wheel/cassette somehow. Worry probrably unfounded.
(do love that bike though Jack.)
