Not sure on how the pipework is configured on 'bike forks ,presume flexy lines up to yoke area,then a t piece to bring them together? Wheres the best place to put a flexy hose to allow enuf yoke movement/clearance to bring the line across to the frame? Manky got any pics of this area on yours? Cant find anything in your build thread!
             Thanks

Hiya. My brake lines run inside the frame. Only got a single disc on the front as all 3 brakes are linked together & I find twin discs lock the front up too quickly. There's a stainless braided Goodrich flexi hose on the front, looping under the bottom yoke into a hole in the right-hand front frame downtube, then running back to the master cylinder. Don't forget to clip any loose, flappy hoses in place to keep the testers happy.
