Anybody any experience swapping around the brakes cables on the Aeroad cf slx. Currently my right shifter applies the front brake but I prefer if it would pull the rear brake. I had a quick look this morning and it looks straight forward. The cable outers look long enough to swap around so as the bike is new I plan to unwind the bar tape back to the shifters, remove the inner cable, re-rout the outers and then refit the inner cables. If anyone has any experience please let me know how it went.

Thanks.
