I'm playing around with some ideas on an old cheap seatpost. Just drilling a hole in either side of the post isn't working - there's no way to get the cable to go into the rear hole (fnar) when the post is in.
The current thinking is that I'll dremel or hacksaw a thin slot up the front and back of the seatpost, terminating in a drilled hole at the top to prevent stress. Then I can install the cable, and slide the seatpost down with the cable in place, the slots going around it, if that makes sense. Hopefully because it's all below the clamped area, it's not going to snap and give me an unwanted probing...
