Running a Specialized Crux with right-front "moto-style" brakes

Hello, I jumped on here because a good number people in England run their brakes right-front, left-rear.

I was curious if anyone has their current gen Crux (~2021) set up this way and if the hydraulic hose routing was an issue.

Thanks!

Might want to also ask in the gravel bike thread, as there's a few Crux owners in there now :-)

Yes, just fine. Hasn't killed me yet.

Internally running through bars, out by stem. No funky bends at all.

Wow not one, but two s-work cruxes as evidence! These bikes are 🔥 !

Thank you! Was concerned about that bend from the left handlebar to the left inlet. Do you just stick some tape there to prevent frame rub?

My Tripster is setup the same way and has Di2 and hydro shrink-wrapped into the left hand port. If it was nearer the frame I'd add helicopter tape.

I've not finished teh Crux yet so I'll come to that point at some time

.

Honestly it's good. Mine isn't even touching when the bars are fully rotated to the right.
I haven't put any protection on (it's not needed) as I'll likely sell it before any wear forms.. it's how I roll.
