Internal rear brake cabling on 2018 Cervelo P2 / P3
Hi all, so I finally got annoyed enough at the cable sticking out of the side of my otherwise awesomely sleek bike to want to change it. I'm using a TriRig Alpha One cockpit and eTap, hiding the Blip Box in a Torhans Bento X box.

So now I've taken the whole thing apart ... I have no idea what I'm doing but figured I'd give it a go anyways :) The top tube has this 3 hole box built into it but it looks like running the rear brake down through one of those would then make it difficult to get back up to run along inside the top tube ... so how is this supposed to work? Or is the P2 not actually designed to allow this and is a hack required? If so ... what? Drill a hole (for a cable stop?) into the rear side of the 3 hole cavity to allow a straighter cable back towards the rear of the bike?

Photos attached of that little 3 hole box/cavity thing on top tube, annoying side-cable, full bike as it was a few weeks back.

Thanks!

Edit for anyone finding this in future:


I ran all the cabling housed (Jagwire compressionless) front to back, through the 3 port box, as recommended below but this ended up being slightly too much friction for the bake/levers to release. SO ... I broke out a power drill and carved a slot 'up' from the center hole in that internal box, about half the height, (image attached of completed cut) to give the housing a smoother path and ... it worked! Never been so happy to see a brake work in my life.

Took several hours of my weekend but was kinda fun to do, having done it once I'll do it again ... but it was a hassle, getting a LBS to do it seems entirely sensible as well.
