Advice for plugging mechanical shifting hole?
Thank you all for the many suggestions!
I think the best solution is the most obvious one, that I dumbly discarded: using the cable guide that slots there. I thought it would not stay in place without cables, but I tried to push it in and it holds reasonably well + has them holes for water egress 👀
Pants are on, I’m out!

Specialized Aethos frame: opinions on seemingly good offer
Hi all, I am slowly acquiring components to build up a honest mid-high to high-end road bike to keep for as long as possible. I was waiting for the new Time Scylon frame to become available, but I noticed a pretty deep discount on a Specialized Aethos frame for 1800€ (here [https://www.biker-boarder.de/specialized/3130846.html]). UVP lies at 3800€ (Specialized website [https://www.specialized.com/de/de/aethos-rahmenset/p/4221548?color=5440794-4221548]). Apart from the obvious question of taste regarding the color scheme, it looks like a pretty nice offer. The Aethos looks to be made for home mechanics (threaded BB, non-integrated headset, round seat clamp) and ride very well. What are your thoughts? The hypothetical Time Scylon goes for like 5000€, so I would invest much less money. Should I go for it? :)
