Makes sense, I’ll keep that in mind when I’ll eventually resurrect them from the spare parts drawer. I quite like this hack from one of your other bikes.
Is there a notable difference in friction?

Nice hack. Actually copied from the 90's pro peloton.
That's my gf's smallish Miyata with 40cm dropbars. Had to get creative with the tight turns and trying to fit a Carradice handlebar bag between the bars on a front rack.
It worked ok but with plenty of room for improvement. I should have used Nokon housing or one of those noodles with a little flex. The noodle for the derailleur worked great for the derailleur but kindof interfered with the brake levers return. It didn't return all the way by itself as the noodle didn't have enough give. I also always adjust my gf's brakes to the loosest spring settings so the lever feel is feather light but at the expense of lever return. It's tricky but worth the effort. I usually get lazy with my own brakes so I just put the spring in the middle canti stud hole and have a bit more lever resistance.Edit. Forgot to answer the actual question. No, there's no difference in cable friction.

That's what flared dropbars are for ;)
If the problem persists, widen drop bars until problem is solved. The Stav's are 58 in the hoods and 65 in drops!
