Braided is a bit tougher in a crash, but that's less likely to happen on a drop bar bike than a MTB. Yes, braided can be little trickier to bend, so it's not ideal for internal routing. It's also usually a bit thicker so might not fit through any frame ports, and it's more difficult to trim to length compared to regular hose

Is there any advantage to braided cable over standard? Can you use braided cables on drops or would it not bend enough?
