    Yeah. It took the shop over an hour and a half to fit it. Cranks were off after 40 minutes of trying to feed the cable through. Pleased I didn't try.

    Probably pretty common to be fair, the cable/hose can be fed through the BB housing without the BB being removed if you are lucky so a,ways worth a go, I spent a lot longer than 40 minutes trying to do it that way before giving in and removing the bottom bracket.

    I guess I must have been lucky with a friends bike, it worked well on that. Haven't gotten myself one quite yet though it is the next upgrade.

    Even though I had read quite a bit online and all of the reviews having quotes like... "best upgrade I've even made" and "transformed my MTB experience", I was thinking "yeah I really want one", with much of that feeling being driven by the fact that it's a gadget, I didn't expect it to really feel SO different out on the bike.

    Believe all of the hype and comments. The ability to drop the seat moving into a DH section and the extra control that then leads to, is transformational.

    Stealth cable routing can be a real bitch with some frames, unless you have 10" long fingers with eyes on the end.
