Don't you feed brake and rear derailleur into that hole? In that case it would make sense to swap between mechanical / Di2 / eTap.

I’m external all the way, but if you have to run an internal this is my favourite route

The Ribble above has removable ports just like that, makes threading hose through super easy but as you say, it’s not something you do often and not as clean as ‘proper’ internal routing

Anyone disagree?
Nope. If it's only ever going to be used for one thing, there's no point adding a feature which allows it to be used for another thing. Particularly when it's a bit fugly, if functional. I'm not sure it even does make hose replacement any easier when compared to a full internal stainless guide.
Still, if that's what the customer wants, that's what the customer wants.

I'm being pushed towards these bolt in inserts for the brake hose. I like them but on this it doesn't make any sense to me. The hole will never be for anything other than a brake hose so I can't see the point in having it removable. Installation of the hose would be marginally easier but that's so infrequent for the life of the bike, I'd rather a smaller hose entry.
Anyone disagree?
