Hello all,
I've bought myself a Planet X EC130E frameset as the price was so good as were the reviews. I've got past the easy build items and am now onto the internal cabling.
Note the frame has internal guide straws sticking about an inch out of each of the various cable holes. I've never come across this before. I've looked around and there seem to be different opinions on how to proceed.
1. Feed the inner cables all the way through the guide straws and then pull out the straws completely once done (but won't this cause bare cables inside to rub on the frame or each other?)
2. Cut the straw back slightly so the ends are just at the entrance to the holes to allow the outer cable to sit flush.
Any advice very gratefully received.
