Whyte E5 cable routing

Just replacing my gear cables on my old Whyte E5 (2006).
The current routing for the rear mech as stops at each end of the swingarm and about 6 inches of exposed inner. Is this required for a reason or could I run a completely enclosed cable from shifter to mech (obviously have to avoid or remove stops)..
Just wondered if the stops were required to avoid ghost shifting or something like that when the arm is compressed?
Cheers

there to reduce weight as a full outer and maybe to reduce any possible compression, is not really needed.
run a full outer if you want."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

If you decide to permanently run a full outer there's no need to remove the stops. Just file or drill them out & use them as guides.Statistically, Six Out Of Seven Dwarves Aren't Happy0

one note is that the action of the swing arm will want to pull the outers around on the frame. one good reason not to run full length outers."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
