Might give a smoother path to prevent wear to the frame. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117595 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:24:01 +0000 izakimak 1117595@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I run mine to the left of the head tube never had any problem&#39;s turning right. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117557 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:15:33 +0000 wwaswas 1117557@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I think they&#39;re designed for non-uk (i.e. rear on the right) routing where they&#39;d work fine. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117550 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:14:09 +0000 Jenga 1117550@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Top pic is the way to go. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117491 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:55:50 +0000 btbb 1117491@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;d expect the left routing to cause problems when you turn to the right with the cable not having anywhere to buldge out to. You may get excessive cable rub. Only thoughts though as no idea really </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117484 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:53:26 +0000 SBrock 1117484@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>less cable rub with top pic </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/brake-hose-routing-which-way-would-you-go#post-1117476 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:53 +0000 psychle 1117476@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>So my frame has enclosed guides on the top tube for the rear brake. These are on the left-hand side of the frame, I run my rear brake on the left (as do most I think?)... with the brake line, I can either loop it round the right side of the stem and back to the lever, or stay on the left and go straight in? Is there a standard? Or just what looks best/right to each individual?</p> <p>To me, running it straight to the left looks weird... but maybe that&#39;s just because I&#39;m not used to it? What do ya&#39;ll reckon? Here are a couple of pics to compare...</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/4343718476_df9a2046cd_m.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4343718628_0969dd2995_m.jpg"></p> <p>cheers <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>
