I've got ST-RS685/BR-RS805 to be internally routed.
Does it make any odds whether I disconnect at the lever or caliper?
Are the barbs and olives reusable?
barbs maybe if you can get them out, olives I don't think so
lever or caliper?
If the caliper end has a banjo fitting rather than an inline fitting, definitely the lever.
I've re-used barbs and olives a couple of times on my R685 (levers)/ BR785 (calipers) with no issues. Always ended up being at the caliper end. I've got the spares and been ready to fit them if necessary, but haven't died yet.
