I got a set of Jagwire housing guides holding the housing but it is sloppy looking...and the housing flexes all over the place which makes the rear brake mushy and lack feel.

I have been looking at getting a custom Bob Jackson that is a mix of their track bike and one of their road bikes...I want to go with the internal cable routing of the rear brake in the TT just like my Merckx....basically I want my Merckx with track drops, no DT shifter bosses or HT cable guides, no FD brazeon tab and no RD housing guide.
