I am trying to get it from the motor up the down tube to by the head/steer tube and out the port there. But there is an internal lip and I just cannot get it with shift cable and magnets. When I do I can chop the connector of the 4mm display wire and pull it down to solder it in the motor. I am going to yank the motor and take another way because I am too impatient. This is a totally cool Felt GRX gravel bike that I am setting up for Mexico. I also need to mix the seaweed green metallic touch up paint because I scratched this brand new bike while removing the two piece BB/crank set.

If you turn the bike upside-down and send it down the up tube instead, then grabity will be helping.

The problem is when you have to "push" the cable through.
I've used coat hangers for feeding things though other things, cuz you can bend and steer it as it's pushing through.

Maybe you could find a used colonoscopy machine somewhere.

It is that darn internal lip. Don't give me no lip! There is a regular exit hole at the bottom of the down tube at the BB but I filled it with a rubber mounting grommet. So, I need to remove the motor and partially unblock that. But now I found out that there is live rock/reggae on the water for free from 1-7 so I will get some cold ones and go with a friend. The music caries across the water very well. I wonder if I died; no living person should have this much fun.

I had enough room to remove my grommet from the frame hole and slide it up the cables to get more room and get rid of the

You don't need nuthin fancy.
I bought a couple for five fiddy each,..

I only bought it for the variable brightness.

I attached it to my reading glasses,..

The camera is a scam.
It uses software that is Play Protected but it updates from a third party to turn it into a spy cam.

I've thought about downloading the software, updating it, then stuff the camera up my ass,..
Let them take a look at that !@

That's worth the five bucks.

Just be sure no one’s finger is in the string on the other end.

Even worse is down in a man hole dragging out 4" conduit that got filled with water. You can hear the tsunami rumble just as it arrives

It's always a good idea to use the old cable to pull the new cable or a string through, but when you have to push something through, it gets tricky.

That's where a little lube goes a long way... Never put it in dry

I have one and it was actually pretty helpful a few times.
I put it on an old phone that only has the app and Chinese porn

The live music on the water was so fun. It started in the pandemic lockdown as a way people could safely gather and have fun since all the venues were shutdown. I was able to see three bands in four hours. It is so much fun that like outdoor dining it is now a tradition.
Maxon Crum, the cartoonist Robert's younger brother, was known for eating string. The 1994 documentary Crumb featured Maxon swallowing a piece of rope to "cleanse his intestines," a ritual he performed every six weeks. This behavior was an externalization of his attempts to deal with childhood trauma and repressed sexual desires. It would take a couple of days to eat it until it came out his butt, then he would pull it. If he had a long enough camera wire he could have used it to fish the camera through and that would better than a shop vac.

I used a tubing pipe cutter to shorten a bar by 30mm per end. It is much better than a hacksaw: Less pain, straight, fast. The ends will need chamfering before fitting end grips. They are like $7 at Harbor Freight. If I use it six times it is worth it. It could last for 100 bikes. I will just keep it lubed.

some bike-tool companies have them in their offering. I do have a few of m, works fine on handlebars and steel steerer tubes. For Carbon we use a saw and guide.

I don't think I've ever done it any other way... even though I've installed miles of steel and aluminum pipe and have a Milwaukee variable speed portable band saw.
Then I clean it up with a rat tail file and an inner and outer chamfering bits. Finally touches with an aggressive dremel nylon polishing bit.

That's what I use, made by Ridgid. You can get replacement wheels for it.

I used a rechargeable Ryobi Grinder to shorten my pipe by about 15mm?,..

And my spoke.
I tied that up too,..
