So Cyclocross Magazine revisited their first ever Mechanical Monday column.
And it talks about the "Myerson" method to drill out the cable stops and run full length housing on Cross bikes with top tube cable routing, great and all but I'm not a fan of it.
The nightcrawler. So far racing CX since 1997 I've yet to encounter any issue with cables. I don't generally replace the housing or the cables on a regular basis if at all. I wash the bike after every race, plenty of normal dirt, mud, sand, commute spray, rain, water, whatever, and no issues.
Can you still get them? I dunno, but I like them much better than I like the idea of adding an extra bit of friction on the shifting just to keep the rear housing clean inside.

Yeah, but can you catch any fish with that?
actually they probably would work well... thread the fishing line through the center of the nightcrawler and tie the hook on...
should work great. not the best use for very hard to find and useful bike parts.
