Hello all; I'm new here, I'm a road cyclist, currently riding a Motobecane Super Mirage. I'm about to upgrade a few of my components, the most crucial of which are my old centerpull brakes. I'm switching to dual pivot side pull brakes, and wanted to get some opinions.

My problem is that my current cable runs down the lower right hand side of the top tube, with braze-on cable stops, and the brakes all accept the cable from the left side of the bike. My question is, will running cable housing from the right side to the left side be bad? I'd like to get a couple more braze-ons and paint my bike, eventually, but I don't have time for that now. Other solutions include running housing along the entire length of the top tube and zip tying it in place (not so aesthetically pleasing) or getting clamp on cable stops and putting them on the left side of the bike.

Thoughts/ideas?

Thanks,

Matthew
