my red line conquest pro has the same cable routing and i have had no problems with it.<br />
i have raced in all different type of conditions from muddy to sandy.<br />
i like the easy of adjustment on the barrel adjuster.<br />

It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world. Those are well designed bikes.<br />
<br />
Plus, just run a single front ring. Problem solved!

From what I've gathered, it's not an issue having the cable run the downtube, then under the bottom bracket.<br />

It's an '07 Van Dessel Gin & Trombones.<br />

Tnx for the info.

i have bikes with both top and bottom. to be honest, i don't notice my shifting getting any worse with bottom routing, but we don't have too many muddy races. I swear by Gore's sealed system though, and that's an easy way to both save your paint and keep it all clean for a long time.<br />

the benefit to bottom routing is that usually there are barrel adjusters there to adjust cable attention (you can always add to top routing)...and as Ryan B of team Rock Lobster says, it's easier/faster to do a…

the benefit to bottom routing is that usually there are barrel adjusters there to adjust cable attention (you can always add to top routing)...and as Ryan B of team Rock Lobster says, it's easier/faster to do a cable housing swap with bottom routing - there's one less segment needed. I also think that the line is smoother sometimes with bottom routing, since by the head tube there are sharper angles with top routing.<br />

I've seen bikes with both the top and bottom like yours - but prefer it just be all one or the other. what frame did you grab?
