Is it just so bike assembly is easier to do in two parts, ie. fitting the bars later?
Mainly this and means you can ship them without committing to which lever does which brake or being too fussy with hose length. If you're happy with the set up you'll not really missing out on anything replacing the hoses without them, bit of a PITA for not much gain though.

Those inline hydro splitters - what's the point? Is it so you can more quickly remove bars or something? Is it just so bike assembly is easier to do in two parts, ie. fitting the bars later? Do they provide anything useful once the bike is setup? They cut the shit out of everything when they're jammed behind a Topeak Frontloader on the grrl's bike so if we remove them do we lose anything?
