We have been using hydraulic brakes on our travel tandem for 3 years and like twoicle I just remove the calipers from the frame and coil up with the handlebars. I actually find this easier to pack then when we had mechanical that had to have bars attached to frame. Since hydraulics are so easy to center on the mounts it takes no time to remount. Our Calfee has some unique cable guides that make running the hydraulic hose easy. I am also using Goodridge hose that coils easily and doesn't tend to kink. Regular mountain bike style cable guides would work just fine also.
