I doubt it's possible. Holes are very very small. So you have to either route them externally through the two other holes there, or drill the internal holes bigger and risk damage.

The lightest AFAIK are the Robert Axle Project (I weighed mine at 62.4gr for the pair).

But the stock bolt-on Cannondale axles are pretty good too, just a few grams more (69.6gr for the pair with the O-rings so they they don't slide out of the hubs) but they keep the Speed-Release feature of only having to slide them by around an inch to take the wheels off, the RAP ones have to be removed completely before you can drop the wheels.

I've just started looking at this bike... From the website the 105 version has the cables going inside the downtube but from your photo it goes inside the headtube. Is your frame not the "105 version"?
Thanks

Mechanical cables go through down tube, unless you have some special conversion 3d printed 3rd party hack.

On the picture is bike on sram red etap, so he is handling only hydraulic hoses, not shifting.

Nicely looking bike.

His bike makes total sense... yeah.

I got rushed because I saw a photo of one to sell that is running 105 (mechanical, of course) and has all the cables going through the headtube. No I wonder if it is some type of hack that you've mentioned.

I'll add another question... I've been searching the thread and I saw someone stating that a 51 size can only accomodate 71cm of BB-saddle height. Can people confirm this?

My saddle height is around 75cm but that is to the top of the saddle. I guess to the rails should be some 3cm less. Still above that 71 figure...

It should allow more.

My size 48 can already do 69cm with a low stack saddle (~2cm) and it is not close to the extension limit of the carbon seatpost.
Size 51 has 3.9cm longer seat tube. Just guesstimate it, you have 47.7cm seat tube. 330mm seatpost. Let assume almost 1/3 overlap where about 10cm of seatpost is in the seat tube.
That already put your seatpost end at 70.7cm with almost 1/3 of the seatpost inside the seat tube.

I guess alloy seatpost allow less extension (more seatpost must be inside the frame) than carbon one. That might explain the conservative number.

Cool. Thanks!

I could have thought about that. I was clearly lazy. Thanks for the help

You don't need a special conversion hack to put the cables inside downtube. I'm using sram red mechanical in my bike with the cables inside downtube.

But then you run whole length housing, isn't it?
Most adapter allow you to stop the cable housing at the adapter piece. Just run bare cable to the bottom bracket.
