I am thinking about a Cento1, and read online about shifting problems associated with the rear chain stay. I posted in frames, and only got one response, which was non-specific. Let's see if the more component oriented crowd has more experience. The post over there said......
I have a current design Ridley Noah. I've always hated the sloppy shifting that I think is caused by the angle of the cable into the frame. Gore cables helped but didn't solve it. I swore I would never have internal cables again.
I've been looking at a Wilier Cento1, but it has internal routing through the chain stay. I've been googling the topic of shift quality and it sounds questionable. But nearly all those reports were a couple of years old, I am assuming that this is the design that had problems(?)
Bike with old design? (click on close ups, shows external stops with what appears to be a through-frame route between them)
Here is the current design shown in the pic on this page
Current design (stops are part of the stay at entry and exit points)
Has the problem been solved with this full internal routing?
