think I need to do it again a bit shorter which is annoying
Since the ring you slice off the top is scrap, you can also split it to pass the hose, so you don't have to do your plumbing over again.

This is something you usually think of once you have the fully disassembled front brake in front of you. :D

The plumbing bit is relatively easy, but slightly interested in the idea as it might give a beater routing for the cable if it came out of the side…
The idea of making a round tube not round anymore is a bit frightening though…

New brake hose arrived, annoyingly it’s slightly bigger diameter to the old one, but I’m beyond worrying too much now…
I’ve conservatively cut the fork, but think I need to do it again a bit shorter which is annoying but not the end of the world, as a result I haven’t refitted and bled the front brake but the latest test fitting is reasonably good, a bit of tweaking on cables to hide them more is possible.
