I have just purchased a 2009 Specialized Tarmac Elite and in the process of changing all the cables. None poses a problem except the FD cable. It isn't routed around the bottom bracket. Instead, it enters a hole in the BB housing from below and exits a hole in the seat tube on the way to the FD. I'm apprehensive about pulling out the old cable because it seems to me that blindly threading a new cable through those two holes by feel, quite a distance apart, would require a miracle.
Is there a routing tube internally to guide the cable from the lower to the upper hole? Or is this done by feel? If anyone has faced this problem and has a solution, I'd very much appreciate any hints you may be able to offer.
Thank you very much.
