To drill a hole through a seat post, got a pitbull brake and where the cable goes round and over my newly painted seat clamp it is rubbing. Was thinking about drilling a hole through the seat post and running the cable through, it would also give a straighter run at the brake adjuster. Anyone done this???

Is it safe?...

ron burgundy:
post a picture of it ;)

Gary72:
I cant the bike is in bits, was just going to run the cable along the top of the top tube, then up and through the middle of the seat post. The hole will only be 4-5mm round, the seat post is 22.2mm.
My sons bike has a similar set up, NS goes through the frame on the seat tube and has an adjuster on the frame, will try and post pics of this later.

ron burgundy:
Should work, are you using an adjuster to take up the slack?
