Anyone got any tips on how to avoid the front mech cable cutting through my new frame where it enters under the bottom bracket?

    You could use a cable liner. Gore do cables with liners, dont know any others but im sure there are some

    Would have expected the hole to be finished much better/cleaner and maybe have a plastic insert.

    What frame is that?
    Yellow is the new Black.

    It's a Carbonzone RB002/FM028.

    I've took the internal sleeve out of a gear cable and used that - hopefully enough to stop the frame getting worn at the hole.
    It also means there is less of a hole on the top where the cable exits so will prevent as much water getting in with a wee rubber gromet on it.
