I've never done it, but I've been considering it for a while. So far I've come up with the idea to do the following, starting at the rear:
Run the wire inside the fender... use duct tape to hold it along the inside of the fender all the way to the kickstand plate. I have a small stack of washers on my fender bolt here to get the right fenderline so I'd anchor the wire to this stack of washers with a zip-tie. Starting with the rear deraller in the center gear, run the wire under the BB shell, leaving a small amount of slack, about 3/4 of the total cable travel for the rear derailler. Run the cable up the downtube along the r-der cable, taping or otherwise tying them together ever 6 inches or so. At the adjuster barrel I'd leave a small bit of slack and then tape or otherwise anchor the wire to the cable housing. The slack at each end allows the section of wire along the cable to move freely with the cable. From here I was planning to route as cleanly as possible (TBD) to the fork crown, around the fender daruma to anchor it, and then through the top vent hole in the fork and fish it out at the bottom vent hole, which comes out right next to the dynamo contacts (not sure how hard that'd be to do). I planned to do this with a single wire, so I would ground the dynamo to fork using one of the rack/fender eyelets, and the light could be grounded to the fender (hoping that the al fenders conduct enough, but I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't) Like I said, I haven't tried this, but it's what I've been thinking of doing. I plan to do the same single wire setup for the headlight to get it to the left side of the rack cleanly... single small wire making the trip through the fork, over the fender, around the daruma, and then to the light, frame grounded.
