Non-compressionless. I tried compressionless but the bend required to get it round the bottom bracket introduced a load of friction, inner cable wouldn't return properly, hydraulic system couldn't refill, braking disappeared! The front, with compressionless housing, feels as good as the full hydro on my other bike.

Ha. I thought I'd managed it with normal housing, installing it very carefully to make sure it didn't introduce friction, and I had one ride where it was fine. Did a wet ride the next week and it fucked it. Any friction in the system stops them working entirely, it seems. On an externally routed frame I had no issues in 2+ years or commuting and cross riding.
