Oh, my gear cable is frayed. I'll change it, it's easy, just like in this video

Yep, so snip, pull out, no need for new outer, nice... SHIT. I have internal routing...
I needed this one!

I now have no idea how to get the end of the cable through the tiny 3mm hole near the bottom bracket shell. I don't have a 'strong magnet' lying around either (fridge magnet doesn't cut it).

Any ideas? Yes, I know I'm an idiot.

Two methods I've used with varying success:

Bent metal clothes hanger through the hole to hook the cable
Thread tied onto the cable and hoover up to the hole

Fuck me, I did it! Tried vacuum and dibbles and in the end just repeatedly jabbing it made it appear from the right hole!
At one point it came out of the front derailleur hole in the bottom bracket, and on the chain stay actually popped out of a tiny drainage hole.
Lesson learnt.
