Yea cable pulls on my old Talbot are tres bon, same on the Kinesis. On the airnimal they were fantastic despite miles of outer.

They all use external routing. But whatevs.

To support what @amey is saying, I think cable pull brakes are great. Got them on my Surly Disc Trucker. Prefer the BB7 over the HY/RD in fact.

Only issue is with the CAAD12 the internal routing makes it an absolute pig of a job, particularly if you have a large spindle crankset.

large spindle crankset.

I was initially only considering Red22 or exogram cranks in bb30 for this but for the reason you've pointed out here, I could look at GXP instead, I even have a spare 2012 red crank though not strictly 11 speed, it'll work.
For consideration, what BB will take BB30 down to GXP? Rotor with a NDS adapter?
I don't want a permanent adapter to BSA
