I've reamed the seat tube finally so it's a more normal 30.9mm. The only issue I faced was the reamer was only long enough to ream down 19cm into the tube and I had trouble finding any kind of extension that I felt comfortable with it not falling off inside the seattube. In the one pic you can see the 'ledge' where it stopped at 19cm down
I am going to try a few things this weekend to get that last 1cm that I want so that the Fox 125mm dropper can sit flush (it needs 20cm depth to be flush), but even if I can't it's not a huge deal, it's mostly for vanity sake so I can have the post base flush if I want it.
While I had the cranks/bb taken out I was looking at the angle from the seat tube to the down tube and it'd be about a 90degree angle. I have gotten a Jagwire "Dropper" cable which is supposed to be a bit more flexible than a normal shifter cable. Have any of you run a cable through the bottom bracket like this before? I expect that it will wear the cable much faster with the friction but I really don't want to drill 3 holes in the frame if I can get away with just one at the top of the downtube.
Thoughts?
