Up the inside of the fork blade and out at the top, then through the mudguard? Or if there's enough clearance, up the inside of the fork and then just along the edge of the mudguard (do the PDWs have rolled edges?).
Thrustvector-
Thanks : )
Yes I think under the mudguard is my preferred method.
The frame builder won't drill the forks for internal routing so we're using little loop-shaped braze-ons to pass it up the inside of the fork blade.It's the exact details of how it changes direction at the top of the fork blade and goes under the mudguard that's difficult to find proper info on.
So far I'm thinking the journey looks like this, with unresolved bits in bold:
- Out of the back of the light
- Through a little rubber grommet (maybe an angled one like this to get the transition smoother)
- Under the mudguard somehow (how do you secure it safely under there?)
- How does it get from under the guard to the first loop at the top of the fork blade?
- Then down the fork to the connector on the hub.
Here's a picture of it mocked-up on my (very dirty) other bike:
- Out of the back of the light

I need to figure out a cable routing system for a front light (supernova e3) mounted on the front mudguard. It's for a custom steel fork so I can more or less do what I want in terms of braze-ons etc.
Also happy to drill / modify the mudguard (PDW Full Metal Fender), which will be mounted to threads under the fork crown.
It'll be guided in the usual way up the inside of the fork but I'd like to figure out the neatest way of routing it from there to the light on the mudguard. What's the usual way of doing it?
There won't be a huge amount of room between the guard and the tyre (maybe 9 or 10mm)... And it's for front only so no need to worry about rear light wiring.
Any suggestions / links to pretty pictures?
