I'm having real trouble routing the rear cable for the Hy/RD brake internally. The outer cable is just too big and the turns are too tight.
Even using compressionless cabling, the cable just sticks and won't work.
Given that it's a cable actuated hydraulic cable, how stupid would it be to use gear shift cabling w/ the compressionless housing from that to attach the rear brake? For callipers, i would definitely never try it but i'm guessing the Hy/RD calliper uses a lot less force.
The front would still use the normal gauge brake cabling...
