Performed Keyhole Surgery on the CAAD tonight
The internal routing is actually really good for the gear cables - its protected and run externally - the brake cables / hyro lines on the other hand.... what the fuck were they thinking!?!?!
No rub visible on my spindle, but plastic outer seems slightly flattened - the outer cable routing guide actually has strategically placed slots to allow a cable tie / flat tie of some sort pass through the shell and secure the brake cable/line against the guide and prevent rub.
this resulted in an unexpected bonus:
My rear brake is now hella more responsive......
Really starting to take a shine to this bike now........
Performed excellently in the wet tonight - first time I've really felt the benefit of the disc brakes.
