I can seem to work out the best way to route my reverb hose on my meta without it either flicking out sideways near the crank or looping out sideways behind the saddle when it's down.

I can't take it across the top tube without massively shortening it and using ugly cable ties holding it in place so it has to go down the seat tube then back up the downtube but I can't work out where best to negotiate the rear shock and all that gubbins.

Any advice/experience?

Once you come to terms with this fact, your life will be SO much simpler...

No-one cares... That's it... simple.

Mine is routed on my top tube, cable tied... you know what... no-one actually cares.. you may think they care, you may want them to care, but they really really don't care.

Current style Meta, or the older (cracky) one?

The current has internal routing for it. You could run a normal or a stealth Reverb with it.

The older one is a bit more of a challenge, you can get the stick on cable guides to run them on the underside of the TT, which is what I did on my wife's old bike, trouble is the guides arn't sticky enough, so save yourself the hassle and superglue them on.

The loop of cable sticking out the back when you put the saddle down will always happen. Where do you expect the length of cable to go? I ended up having to use the stick on guides. Worked fine.

Not sideways though ptr. Old style cracky meta hob nob.

It was fine before I sent it for a service, just can't remember where it went now

Mine's currently routed along the top tube, with cable ties.... Looked at going round the BB but the top tube was much simpler.
