They share their personal experience using it, including a workaround they employ.
AI-Summary
Pros
- Makes internal cable routing much easier and quicker.
- Very affordable (cost about three or four dollars).
- Has been used successfully on multiple bikes with full internal routing, including a Light Carbon gravel bike and a Timeout Doz build.
- Strongly recommended for anyone with an internally routed bike, even for simple adjustments or cable changes.
- There are many brands available on AliExpress, so there's no need to spend a fortune on a Western kit.
Cons
- The reviewer admits they may be using it wrong.
- They never really got the included threaded adapters to work well.
- They lost most of the parts from the kit over time.
- Their personal method involves taping the cable/hose to the wire instead of using the designed adapters.
Key Points
- The main component is a long wire with a magnet on one end and an attachment point on the other.
- It is designed to be run through the frame to pull through brake hoses or gear cables.
- The reviewer typically tapes the cable to the wire instead of using the threaded adapters, which works perfectly for them.
- It is useful for bikes with integrated handlebars and fully internal routing.
- The kit is from the brand Rider Ace, a common AliExpress tool brand.
