Hey guys! I’m loving my Spork 3.3 mounted on my old trusty Salsa Vaya Travel! Couldn’t be more happy! Thanks for making a straight non-tapered steer tube version! Rodeo Spork Series 3
I am asking for advice regarding the routing of Son 28 dyno wiring harness up through the drive side fork, to the top of the steer tube. Is that possible on my straight steer tube Spork 3.3? I’m hoping to install a SON 28 Dyno connected to a steer tube (top cap) mounted Cinq Plug5 Pure. If it’s indeed possible to route the wires internally all the way up to the top of the Spork 3.3 steer tube, do you have a recommend procedure to route (pull) the wires internally?
Sorry for technical question, and thank you in advance for the advice! Super appreciated! 🙂

Brian,
Thanks for using a Spork 3 in your build!
To install a Cinq on a Spork 3 you would need the 23mm expander plug. This is critical for fitting inside of our steer tube.
As for routing from the lower fork leg port and staying internal all the way through the steer tube – you can do it, but there are some bends in there that get tricky in the crown area. You can try using a Park Tool routing kit, which is an industry standard internal routing tool.
You could also try plugging the two crown holes and steer tube routing hole, then placing a vaccum at the top of bottom entrance exit of the fork. Turn the vaccum on and feed a thin string into the hole at the other end of the vaccum. The vaccum is remarkably effective for pulling that small string through the fork and out the other end. Once through, tie the string to the end of your wire and fish it back through.
Internal routing can be challenging in these tight spaces, but with some persistence and creativity it can be done.
