eh, i always understood that internal cabling kept salt out and added longevity to your functional bike. Have I been misinformed?
gillies-
Full length outer does this though

Well, in my mind full cable housing will create more friction and cause bigger problems over time with shifting and braking. It is more expensive and more wasteful. It is a bigger faff changing cables and it is a ball ache for the frame builder to construct.
Only real disadvantage for external cables is when frame bags collide with cable routing.
