[#7018365]

I just got a 2014 SC Nomad frame to move all my components over to. Can someone with the bike tell me how the rear brake hose should be routed for a UK (left hand rear brake) setup?

The little ridges that hold the hose on the downtime are on the left hand side of the bike (as sitting on it) so I'm wondering if I should just run directly down the left side (not good for full bar movement / preventing cable rub) or cross to the other side and cable tie it down the 'wrong' side?

I'm sure there is an obvious way I'm missing.

Just run it down the left, it's fine.

Mine (now my wife's), has been like that for 12 months & it's been fine.

How have you found the layout of the internal gear and dropper post routings? Do they work out OK if you run the dropper on the left?
I read about other people wondering how is best to run the cables due to it being designed for Americans running the rear brake on the right.
I'm currently building mine and will be running the cables in the next couple of days.

Dropper and gear routings work great. I run the dropper control on the left too.
