- Is it difficult to find the right route for the cables through the frame (both to the front and the rear). I guess what I am asking is whether you just slide it in and it automatically pops out in the other end, or if it is difficult to get the cable to go through the frame correctly.
The front is straight forward.
The rear is easier than it seems. Do it in a two-part job: First have the cable routed through the brake and housing, and then pass the cable through the frame without bodering about putting the plastic cable stop in place.
The cable passes through the frame naked and there's plenty of space. Just push the cable and it will eventually came out. If not pull back a little and try again. Once you have it there you can put the plastic cable stop in its place.

This is the tricky part. As you may know you need to remove the brake cable because it passes through the screw which attaches and tightens the shimano di2 brake levels to the bars.
So, you need to put everything in place first* (brake level and housing) and the pass the cable. It's not difficult but it sometimes gets on your nerves because the cable housing must be perfectly aligned with the brake hole.
*I might be possible to pass the cable without the housing through the handlebar and then slide the housing back.
However, if you've worked with the speedmax brakes everything will seem easy in comparison ;-)
