Internally routed disc brake cables
Has it been done? I'm talking about routing the cable inside the front fork arm too. Is it possible?
I know it's aesthetic, but I hate the look of disc brake cables running across the bike. It looks like the bike is wired for high speed Internet. I would personally love a disced cyclocross bike with internally routed cables. Opinions?

road bikes have angled entry and exit pieces to run cable for the rear brake
thru the top tube.
and a top cap with a hole and a star nut with a clearance,
but the cable will have to run up to the top of the steerer first,
Of course if you hire the services of a custom frame builder ,
Most anything is with in possibility ..
If there is a muddy race course you may wish for easier to maintain cable runs..
but it's your money..
