Think i would drill another slot then look at a tighter fit.
Hmm think I have some weekend work ahead of me
Might even consider some black gaffer tape accross the seals when put back together if not water tight.

What side of the crossbar does the dropper post cable come out of any chance of a pic just looking at how to do mine

Thanks

All that I can say from the photos shown, is what a hell of a mess!

Why over complicate things.

My dropper post hose follows this route. Not shown n this photo, but the cables are also now hidden as well, so looking from the side, there are neither cables or hose showing.

Well, it is what it is and how it was made! I was wondering why the hose comes out of the frame to go back in again lower down, even with the cables uncrossed it still has a gap there..

I can't answer for the brand-x model, but I really rate the two Reverb seat posts that I have.

Being cable operated, you will never be able to get the tight bends that you can with the hydraulic hose of the Reverb. Gubbins, I presume that is why your cable takes the route that it does. No fault of Scott, as they probably didn't really have any other option available to them.

One of my Reverbs was an end of line 2015 version which I purchased in a sale, but failed after just one ride. It was sent away and replaced with a 2016 version. Total down time was less than five days, so I can't fault the after sales service either.

If you do opt for a Reverb and want to mount the activation switch on the left, then buy a right hand switch and turn it upside down and mount on the left. It tucks it nicely out of the way, whilst remaining in easy thumb reach.

or if there are tight bends with a wire cable then it will cut through the hose at sharp angles and snap it if it will move at all that is.

thanks for the advice guys think i will go for the refurb and mount under the engine and up through the down pipe.

Do you require a torque wrench when undoing the engine bolts ?

you should but i never as decent ones are expensive and my motor has not fell off yet ;)

you will need to bleed the reverb now and then tho but it is easy enough.
