Anyone got a Kinesis at built up? If so could you show me a photo of the underside to see the cable run. Especially useful if it's 2x.

Cheers

Does this help?  Rear mech and rear hose can pop out of whichever hole you want.

Briefly considering if I could use the Di2 hole to run an internally routed dropper, decided its too tight and a no go with the cable trapped under bar tap anyway.

P.S Mine is 1x11 so not played with front mech routing.

P.P.S The black cable guide on the BB is missing, Kinesis sent it through after.  So front mech would probably be inner only from where it enters the downtube to the mech.

Thanks spooky. Same here no cable guide. So yes probably cable from in to rear mech.

Look might it might be the same for the front mech.

My frame was discounted as it had been sent around retailers and had various builds for photoshoots, so I assumed that was where it had lost the BB guide along with things like the bottle boss bolts.  I know for a fact it had a BB guide when Merlincycles got hold of it as there is a very handy photo showing my frame number on their website 🙂

In hindsight, yes I think you're right, its bare inner under the BB for both mechs.  My rear inner seems to just kiss the chainstay, not sure if thats normal or I got an early frame!

This is the Kinesis code for the BB guide: K-FP-CABLEGUIDE-2WAY, apparently you can order through a dealer but I messaged them on facebook and on the second attempt they posted it for free.

Interesting I think this one is also a catalogue model. Missing bosses and guides including the rear brake hose guide. It's pretty but looks as though there'll be a couple of weeks chasing and gathering annoying bits.
