I'm working on a Specialized Dolce Elite size 48. The brake cable routing is under the top tube. Then it goes to the dual pivot brake. The problem is the housing length is so short that it goes outward instead of inward and rubs against the riders back leg. I tried shortening the length of the housing, but that resulted in really bad brake release, I have a zip tie holding the housing to the seat tube and that sort of works, but its pretty ugly. Anyone tackled this issue?
I noticed the adjusting barrel on the Ultegra 6700 brakes seems less tall than others, this could potentially increase the length between the frame lug and the brake bolt, but I can't tell if the arm is just longer and it ends up making no difference...
