Brake cable problem.

    Hi all,

    I have focus cayo and wanted to replace the brake cable that is routed internaly through the top tube. So I took old cable put the new one and there you go.... FAIL...

    It seems to be impossible to feed the cable so it goes in on one end and exits on the other end of the grame. I have these little guides that I took out of the frame on both ends to make it easier with no success.

    I took out the seatpost to see if I can have any kind of access to the rear hole in top tube - and nothing..

    I took out the fork and tried to feed the old cable from the rear end to the front with hope of connecting the new cable to old one and just pulling it through, again no success here either.

    I stuck my finger in the headtube (beyond the point of pain inflicted by rough edges of frame onto my finger) and I can feel the edge of the little hole that the cable should go through and then fed the cable from the rear (it actually touched my finger but seems to be stuck on something). You can see that cable at the edge of that little hole but for some reason just can't get it out...

    So I need any help...as it is incredibly frustrating at this point and what a dumb design...
