For Di2 routing I’ve used a heavy duty cloth fishing line (“spider wire”) with a very small washer at the end, a wheel magnet, and 45 degree pick tool. This allows me to use gravity to pull cables through at first and then surgically pull the line/cable through. I imagine you could tie a large knot on the other end and put a ferret inline. I generally just tie it on to the cable being routed. Also use this line in place of frame cable ties, weighs nothing, and I think looks good.

Still I’m looking forward to the unreleased 12speed etap group, if they play their cards right it could be real hit especially for gravel bikes
