ffs the fetishization of integrated cable routing in road cycling has gone too far. no mechanic with a sound mind would suggest that bending mechanical cables like that is a good idea. the shifting must go to shit after a few months

I blame anyone who's ever used the words "clean lines"

Well, it’s the fetishisation of electronic cables and hydraulic lines that has caused the problem. Those who prefer mechanical, or can’t afford di2, are left to suffer the consequences. I guess someone at Big Bike read Nudge.
It’s a temporary problem. New bikes will be free of mechanical cables soon enough, introducing the servicing model from the automotive world. Cycling is becoming more and more like car ownership.
