Mine just doesnt seem right since I swapped forks. The big difference in the size of the headset cup adaptor and fork crown is now a magnet for cables and cable rub.

There are 3 guides on the downtube, directly behind the stem, one of which gets converted into a stop by the supplied Cannondale part.

So, it you number the 3 gudes 1 to 3, 1 being on the left hand side, what cables to folk run though each?

I've also got the challenge of fitting an X-Fusion dropper remote with an uninterrupted cable.

cheers

I run a cable tie round my hope lower headset cup and loop 2 small ties through it. Use the small ties to fix the cables in place.

Also run a x fusion post. Use three m-part sticky back cable guides along the side of the top tube.

Can't help you the cable runs, as mine runs a lefty & has different issues due to that (have to be carful, so the cable aren't kinked with the lefty is at full lock in the car), but Paul G +1, for the cable tie trick.
I use this all the time, on my headsets & forks to avoid cable rub.
PP did tip where he used a short piece of plastic hose instead of a 2nd zip tie, as guides for the cables.
You could try and figure mine out with this [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/15253377@N00/7077734509/in/photostream/lightbox/ ]pic[/url] if you want (lefty currently away, so bike is in pieces)

Thanks guys, I might go for the 3 cable tie approach, which works on other bikes. There isnt much of a "waist" to put the big cable around, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
