• So I started fitting my new brakes and I decided that, this time, I cared enough to trim the cables. It promptly started raining and I despite double checking my new length, I expect I will get pissed off with it being a bit on the short side.
    Having stopped swearing into the night sky, I have three questions.

    • Will a slightly sharp bend out of the lever lead to imminent firey death or just accelerated wear?
    • Can I reuse the length of BH-90 I have from the old brakes, or will a firey death await me?
    • Why did my new M6000 brakes come with the older (?) BH-59 hose?
  • Will a slightly sharp bend out of the lever lead to imminent firey death or just accelerated wear?

    You can bend the hose to about ~5cm radius and then it will kink, which is then a permanent kink. Its a bit trial and error of how tight it can go.
