Routing cables thru the frame is one thing, routing thru the headset is a whole new level of wackiness.
Fads, junk and non essentials.

And yet people ask for it every single day…
It certainly weeds out the people who are going to work on their own stuff

$350-$450 to rebuild an integrated front end on an electronic shifting road bike. A cable shift bike is $100 or so more. A mountain bike with a dropper and cable shift? I would just turn it away because the little profit you’d make isn’t worth the bad reviews for charging the amount of labor that would take.

Oh yeah! I decided to install an offset 9point8 dropper on my Neo2, jeez of man! What a mess that turned out to be. I gave up, put the original dropper back in, pushed my saddle back and called it a learning experience. Maybe one day someone will post a video of tearing that thing apart and I'll give it a try again....maybe.
