When what looks like a dropper lever isn't a dropper lever:

One extra cable doesn't clutter things up too much as long as the lengths are cut pretty precisely:

Where the magic happens... Cable routing is pretty tight but works without issue, and who knew the font "Times New Roman" was still around?

Ah that makes a bit more sense. I was like dude it’s a trail bike just run a 140 or 150mm fork if you don’t like the slack HA at 160.

Ahh right….must pay attention. You’ve bought another but a bigger version. I was wondering why this looked a little more purposeful!

Hope it rides well, it looks great.

It’s meant to have a 140 fork IIRC, 150 is my intention (sag point is pretty deep with this coil/my weight), but no time to swap it tonight so the debut ride will be with a 160mm fork. Close enough, lol.
