Can’t you use a bottle boss for the cable?

My Pact has a hole in the seat tube for a dropper cable. It doesn't seem to be reinforced or in any way distinguishable from the rest of the tube.

Funny that, I were just pondering on this myself but feel that the free external reverb that a buddy gave me will suffice.

Maybe for the future I’ll think again on doing this otherwise I would have removed a bottle cage bolt if I had them on my seat tube.

Is the frame still in warranty ?

I’m the third owner so I guess it has no warranty

I thought about this but then I found an external Tranzx dropper, life's too short to be messing about with internal cabling.

What frame is it? Does a newer version have a hole? Is the frame ant different? Probably not.

I know people have emailed the company and asked and been given good advice.

I don't know enough about titanium to advise you.

If you say brant 3 times, he usually appears and gives good advice from years of experience.

Good Luck.

Killed 3 drill bits just drilling out the threads on one of the bottle bosses on my Ti hardtail.
