You can also start with a string and a vacuum cleaner. Put the vacuum on the exit hole and feed the string in the origin hole. Then pull the cable through tied to the string.

Another option would be to to remove the ferrule, thread the tube through the frame, and replace the ferrule.

Here in the US it would be a better bet to go with these on Amazon. Better securing method as well to avoid any shearing issues. Unfortunate name on these ones though. ;)...

The lower "idler" pulley is the lower jockey wheel on a regular derailleur. The upper is for suspension to reduce pedal kickback from the high pivot.

Putting a smaller rear wheel while keeping the 26 inch front wheel will give much worse wheel flop. The bike is built around having same size wheels.

It looks like your hubs have removable end caps. This means there is probably through-axle end caps available for those hubs. Check on the hub manufacturer's website.

Try putting your other foot forward when you coast. Do you veer the other way? I find that a forward foot can cause a turn away from it sometimes. Try keeping your feet at a neutral position.

Deflate the tube and remove it from the tire. Put the sealant in the deflated tube, then reinstall and inflate.

With drop bars you are also getting road bike brifter compatibility and hidden cables. The latter really not being an option at all with the Q-style bars.

You should consider a stem riser before cutting up your seat. That'll raise your bars up a bit. Something like this...

Nice. You might want to put some grommets in those holes, or melt around the circumference so it will not unravel. Maybe both for best durability.

It look like the bracket has two slots. Put the seat-brace end in the upper slot (where the extra skewer is in the pics), and you may gain another couple degrees.

I certainly don't have a better idea. But it may be a bit relative. :)

To find 12, top of pedal stroke, is really easy if you have cleats. It's where the pedal is when you pull it back towards you as far as possible with the steering straight. Once you have 12, you will then know where the other times are.

The boom and slider must have been trimmed to pull the cranks back far enough for the seat position. Only the inside tube needed trimming though. But it looks like you still enough outside-tube anyway.
