Ok a woman specialized, but a fsr nonetheless. Can I see your rear brake routine as the one from specialized seems to be very lame/crap. I have tried it, and the brake hose is rubbing against the spokes after the shock gets compressed. I was thinking having it run above the BB but I fear it will get damaged buy the bolt.
TA very much.

Funny you should mention this. I just set up the back brake on a girly FSR yesterday. The routing is indeed a bit dubious. I've ended up routing the hose straight down the top tube instead of all the faffy under the frame nonsense.

Its cable tied on, so it aint pretty but it keeps everything out of the way

I'll try and sort some pictures out for you. I've basically run the hose straight down the underside of the top tube and through the bracing on the seat-tube. Its been christened and seems to do the trick just fine
