I've often wondered about internal routing and why it fell out of favour last time. Probably because of issues like this.
How many watts do you need to be putting out before the drag from an external cable becomes detrimental to any noticeable degree? Not trolling, genuinely interested to know if there is any evidence of the aero benefit for those with thighs slightly smaller than Cancellara or Hushovd.
Wrap insulation tape as lumpily and badly as you can at intervals along the cable. A smear of silicone grease helps it slide through.
Good luck, I detest rattles too!
I’m sure you should have a fasteners and fixings supplier near you that would be able to help with some kind of rubber grommets to space out along the cable housing to lessen it. Failing that get some rubber to drill and punch out your own. Hope that helps.
Filler?
No.
My serious answer is to buy a Cervelo.
I have rhe same problem I just come to the fact I have to put up with it
