Jagwire and TRP recommend a short section (~5") of standard spiral wound brake housing from the brake lever itself to make the 90º bend from the lever to the bar's straight section. Then a double end ferrule connects it to the much longer compressionless housing run to the brake calipers. This is very straightforward and has no negative effect on braking or lever feel.
