I was going to do that initially, but there's a bit of a problem when you combine Alfine hub and the seat stay routing on the KM.
To get the chain line right you have to flip the sprocket (which is dished to allow for adjustment), pushing the chain line outwards. What that means is that the chain runs very close to the cable and the shifter stop. The slightly ghetto solution is to bend the problematic part of the hub attachment, but I don't like that.
I could just zip tie the cable run to the chain stay and DT, but as it's getting repainted it's an opportunity to do it neatly.
