• First ride out on the new xc bike yesterday, at a trail centre no less. Bike was mostly fine for all of the trails, but some of the rock gardens would have been much nicer with the addition of a dropper.

    Bike has iccr cable routing (fancy name for internal cable routing), and from the minimal information I could find online, it looks like I route the cable around the bb and up the seat tube:

    Which is fine, but then there are a handful of blanking plates on the drive side that confuse me as this bike is supposedly 1x specific:

    Anyone else on here got a Scott scale and can advise on best approach for dropper routing? And also what the blanking plates are for?

  • my trek is very similar (also XC bike)

    blanking plates and that stop in DT is for front mech

    you have to route dropper in DT > ABOVE BB shell (assuming pressfit) > into ST

    its a pain, you will need lots of tea and patience, that angle is hard to get the outer bent around
