2018+ Crux internal shift cable questions
I'm looking to re-cable my 2018 Crux. It currently has full-length cable housing run internally from the shifter all the way to the rear derailleur (enters downtube at the hydro hose+cable port, then exits out the chainstay). I'd like to run Jagwire Elite Link shift cable, but it would require a 4mm cable stop at the downtube and another 4mm cable stop at the chainstay.
Has anyone ever done this? Any suggestions for how to put cable stops at those two locations, or is full-length cable housing my only option?

I have 0 experience with that bike, but it seems like a bare cable without guide in the bottom bracket junction would just scrape back and forth against the corner where the dpwntube and bottom bracket meet.

Jaqwire Elite Link has a liner that you run inside the frame; the cable slides inside that liner. Only the exposed liner get links, which is part of the weight savings.

Good question. I can only assume wherever you have cable housing now, the aluminum links have to go upon replacement.
