Ok so I sold some wheels so I've emailed SJS to cancel the LX hub and I'm going to drop a bit more cash on probably the jtek hub. That means a rear light is more of a possibility.
Only thing is I can't figure out how to route the cable to the rear light.
My frame is painted so I'd rather avoid brazing anything if possible. And the bike is fixed with just a front brake so there's no pre-existing cabling or cable routing going to the back of the frame.
Drilling the downtube and running a cable internally is a possibility but anyone got any ideas that don't involve drilling but still look neat?
Paint is hammerite with splatters over the top so a real bumpy finish which means it's going to be difficult to stick anything like a di2 guide down, plus I hear they don't stick very well at the best of times.
I kind of wonder about just gluing a cable along the underside of the top (or down) tube.
