more haters towards transition. no one really hates giant because they're such a big company making frames and such for so much more than just themselves. well that's just my opinion

 To me this routing doesnt seem to make sense at all. Maybe I am wrong but aren't the cables just gonna wear out real faster ? There is alot more wear and tear from all the rocks and dirt flying at them.

 So very true! besides the rock and dirt there are more corners for the cables to intensively rub against. i feel the only reason for internal routing is a cleaner look and possibly the frame is lighter with all the new holes .
