Wondering if the rear mech internal cabling takes the inner and outer through the frame

    I dont know the specifics of that as I never look at Boardman bikes, but generally internal cabling has frame stops for the outer and just the inner running through the frame. Sometimes there is an inner sheath inside the frame but not usually. Do you not have the bike available to examine directly?

    edit - heres a photo from road.cc for an Air 9.2 which shows the cable entering the frame (with inline barrel adjusters), they certainly look like cable housing ferrules to me which would mean the outer stops at the frame but I could be wrong of course.

    as above - outer will end outside, inner will thread through.

    It will depend on the bike/manufacturer. A lot of bikes these days have the outer cable go through the frame. Merida certainly do with the Reacto, Ride and Scultura. Makes recabling a lot easier too.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Yeah the rear brake inner feeds straight thru but the front mech has a cable stop there seems to be no cable stop for the rear and it’s a bitch to feed the outer through
