I guess the purpose of this routing is to avoid the hose to be caught ?
I believe so, yes. Additionally it ensures the hose is pushed up with the lower when the suspension compresses, and prevents the movement of the hose from causing rubbing damage on the upper.
If you look at the bash guard there should be a little socket for the hose where you zip-tie it down. The hose then bends - somewhat awkwardly - backwards to the caliper. You might have to move the position of the banjo-bolt to get it to work.
I can't believe how much of that sounds like gobbledigook
Edit: Wait. Slate doesn't have a bashguard, so nothing to zip-tie the hose down to. Guess it just runs along the front of the upper then inside to the caliper.

Thanks for the info ! I've searched for other slate pics and it looks like you're correct, the brake hose should be on the inside of the fork. I guess the purpose of this routing is to avoid the hose to be caught ?
