Quick video with a solution to the internal cable routing issues a lot of people experience with with their Santa Cruz bikes.
This only applies to models where the internal routing has each route individually moulded into the carbon, i'm not sure which models this applies to but it seems to be the newer ones, mine is the Megatower V2. This means the usual methods to help routing the cable, like taking out the bottom bracket or attaching it to another cable with a coupler don't work / are unnecessary.
The cause of the issue is the stock hydraulic droppers have much softer and smoother cable housing, so pushing hydraulic cables into the frame is easy. If you switch to a cable dropper, the cable housing will be stiff and often rough on the end, so it gets caught when trying to push it through the internal routing.
Method: Simply sand / file the end of your cable housing to remove the sharp edges and give it a slight cone shape. I added a drop of chain lube but this may not be necessary. The rounded end should now slip through the internal routing a lot easier and will save you a big headache :)
Any other tips, please add to the comments.
