[Closed] Mmmbop and Shimano SLX Hose routing help?

Hi, is any one running shimano SLX disc brakes on their Mmmbop?

If I wanted to route the rear hose along the top tube is it just a case of having an ugly bend in the hose? Due to where the hose enters the calliper it runs towards the lower routing.

Pics of Antibes rear shimano routing would be really helpful too.

Thanks everyone.

this will only work with XT or XTR. not a chance if hose connects to a SLX brake set-up.

It'll work way better on the downtube and chainstay.

I have mine along the chainstay, zip tied up the seat tube then along the top tube at the moment.

Oh ok, might have to look at selling these and getting some XT then. I don't like the downtube routing at all.

Why don't you like the down tube routing?

I just don't like the cable on the side guide. Totally personal preference. It works though and keeps the cables tidy do we will see.

I'm not buying new brakes anytime soon so down the downtube it is.
