Thinking of going 1x10 on my Scott Scale which has internal cable routing - any suggestions for plugging the unused holes?

I sealed the hole in a cable ferrule (filled the ferrule with wax) and pushed it in to the frame back to front if that makes sense? Seems to have done the trick and stayed in place but equally, can be removed quite easily with some long nose pliers. I'm sure there are better options but it was the first bodge that sprung to mind 😀

^^ +1. I also use gaffer tape over it, but then I'm not bothered by how pretty it looks!

Silicon bathroom sealant will block it and peel off easily after

I have used foam earplugs, roll them up and insert them, you can then colour the end with a sharpie if you like

Good idea eviljoe! I actually have some old silicon ones which might do the trick too..
