Sorry, building bikes is not a talent of mine.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience installing the new Easton Attack TT bar (carbon with s-bends). The problem I seem to be having is that the derailer cables exit this particular bar at the very rear and then requires a very unmanageable sharp turn down to where it enters the downtube. I think the Crono is particularly challenging because of the location of where it enters the downtube but I could potentially see this being a problem on many bikes (unless I'm missing something).

I know I can route the cable all external but that's also a little challenging due to the knob that exists at the s-bend where the cable from the bar shifter is supposed to enter the bar (before exiting the rear). Not to mention, cosmetically it's not that attractive.

I got a picture but no place to post it at the moment.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks, Chris
