Aegis Frame Question

B. Lafferty said:

A friend has an Aegis carbon frame that has a hole through the bb area
for the front derraileur cable to pass. Question-- Is there a procective
sleeve built into the frame to protect it fom the movement of the cable
or is there a guide of some kind that should be inserted. There was
nothing there when the old cable was removed, but the last shop to work
on it was not renouned for the quality of their service.
Thanks in advance.

I've have an older version of the Aegis Aro (Racing BIK before the
company became Aegis, formerly Graphite Technologies). I bought the
frame bare and it did not have any cable liner for the front derraileur,
I did however installed a piece of cable liner to protect the frame, not
sure how it will effect shifting because I've to old downtube shifters.

Thanks for asking, it made me check my BIK and discover that the liner
is starting to rip. Time for a new piece if I can find it.

Thanks. I'm going to insert a cable liner.
