Reverb hose routing

DodgeT

Reverb finally arrived today, so just been in the garage and stuck her on the C456.
Don't like having baggy cables flapping around and had remembered reading somebodys thread who said they had wrapped the cable around the post.
Doesn't seem too bad, certainly a lot less baggy than just running straight down.

Anybody got any tips for a nice routing? Take it there's no reason not to do what i've done?

Other pics of decent routing would be good.

This is mine, looks neater / smaller loops in the flesh.

up


and down

Shorten the hose an run it straight looks like the hose might wear the "stantion" of the post once some dirt gets between it and the hose

The hose doesn't actually move against the upper as it's mounted on it, it just moves down out of the way with it.

(I know this cause I thought the same thing at first, then when I checked the operation, it was fine.)

Although, thinking again, just moving around on the bike may cause this to happen... Might need a rethink

If it was me I would shorten it theres a good set of bleed instructions here > http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesd ... Lines.html

i shortened mine without bleeding. Its a relatively low pressure system, so if you are careful you prob dont need to bleed it afterwards. Shortening the hose is a piece of p*ss. Takes 10 mins.

Borrowed some nice cutters from work, so will have a pop at it
