Running brake cables
 

What’s the preferred method of running the front non aero brake cable when the caliper cinch bolt is on the same side?

The traditional method is simply to form a U-shaped cable loop without crossing over the handlebar stem. That's what I always did. My first Bianchi came with Universal sidepulls and left rear / right front braking, and the Schwinns of that era came with Weinmann sidepulls and left front / right rear braking. These were just mirror images of each other, with no centerline crossing for either brake cable.

Use centerpulls? [ducking]

Perfect, thanks.
