first bike build so forgive the noob question

the front caliper has the cable fixing on the right, so I guess running the cable from the left lever would look neater

Traditionally it's the right hand for the front (not in America though, maybe other places too), but it's your bike and you can do what you want

I have mine on the left on commuter and on the right on my road bike. Just to mess with my own head.

IMO front on the left is better because it lets you indicate right an scrub speed. If I were in the US I've had it on the other side for the same reason.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
