I haven't seen a ton of mechanical setups but those that I have generally have cabling run from extension end to top tube port via a gentle bend (out in the wind). Is that the preferred? I don't think Shimano or Jagwire is flexible enough to try and pull close to the back of the monopost and through the cap...maybe Alligator I-link? Even though...shifting would have to take a hit...right?How I prefer to do it (and how we set up Omni builds with SRAM 1x mechanical) - keep the shift housing OUTSIDE the extension. Hide it under bar tape, then after it exits the bar tape, it has a nice gentle path down, around the Monopost, and into the cable inlet at the front of the Cable Cover part. Virtually no extra frontal area exposed to the wind, excellent functionality, and this option makes it really easy to make adjustments to stack and tilt without binding the cable. Personally I think it looks better than your other suggested option (out the back of the extension), but if you're planning to make EXTREME changes to stack and tilt over time, this option potentially makes it a little easier to do so.
