Oooh, that's fucking awesome! Are you doing it yourself? What if the wire (or solder) cracks and needs replacing...? As in how the hell did you feed it through those tiny holes in the first place?

Thanks! It's being done by a local builder. No idea how he managed to feed the wire but we talked about it beforehand and he mentioned the importance of not making the holes too small :) I ripped off the connections on my SP dynamo last year when touring so I´m hoping this will be a bit more idiot safe.
I'm also adding 10mm of rake since I usually pack stuff on the front and a disc mount since I have grown to truly hate cantilever brakes. Really looking forward to it being done!

Feed something thin and relatively narrow gauge into the hole like fishing mono-filament or similar. Block all other holes up except the hole you want the line to come out of then apply a vacuum cleaner to that hole. It should suck the line through then attach the other end to whatever cable you wish to go between the two holes and gently pull it through with the fishing line. If the line snaps do it all again but then attach it to something stronger or slightly thicker. Pull that through then attach that to your cable.
