This does not feel as weird as people think it will.
Note: This is the YAWYD top cap from Niner. You put a beer cap on it and look extra factory. I didn't put one on yet, as I have a selection I'm choosing from - what'd be your choice?
I saw this "pro tip" from Nigel Reeves in a Vital Slideshow years ago. Organized cables are always a good call, and a nice touch.
The internal routing is rad. Dropper cable on the other side (I forgot to grab a shot of that somehow, and the sun set before I realized)
Where the action happens!

Additional Info
Welcome to the future. The gearbox monster is going to stake its rightful claim in the annals of MTB lore. Even riding in my driveway, I can tell this is going to be a special trail-eating weapon (That's why it's not perfectly clean - too stoked to find a clean rag before grabbing the shots...my bikes get ridden, they're not show pieces!). This is also my first 27.5 bike, as I'm a late adopter and I'm pumped about that. I hope you're all as excited about this bike as those of us who bought them are! Perhaps a full review once the snow disappears...
