Yep +1 for the jagwires. Just chuck any old cable on in the short term, then take the time to do the jagwires properly. Look good and work perfect with etap, easy to set up as well, got mine filthy this morning...dunno if pic will work but hopefully:

if you can, i suggest get some powercordz liner to use with the nokon beads (it works better for steel cables too, not just with powercordz)

i find the nokon higher friction and over time tends to kink at the bead junctions

Ah ok, i bought this 'kit': https://www.sigmasport.co.uk/item/Nokon ... t-15m/34VB

I think the black bit is lining?

yes

you can always fit it now, see how it goes and swap later if you need to reduce friction

Cverything went on perfectly smooth, did a test ride in the wet today, very good brakes! Modulation felt better then DA9000 with similar braking power and they feel at par with current gen Shimano R8000/9100 but just lighter.

Hopefully they will stop me fine in Spain :)

Nokon cables are good too. I ran the liner all the way at the back even with the exposed cable (external brake routing). Should I have not?

Yeah good idea, helps with sealing and stops cable rattle.... a toofer :-)
