Hydraulic Hose Length...
Sorry, another hydro question (while I still try to figure out how I'm gonna get it through the damn bars).....
Once you have the lines routed through the frame, attached to the calipers, calipers attached to frame, etc, and you are at the point where you are ready to attach the brake levers and connect the hydro hose........how do you best determine the exact length? Do you try to cut it so that it maybe would go like 1-2cm past its connection point on the lever, and hope that you'll be able to push that little bit extra back through the stem/frame after you get it hooked up? Though the lines feel so stiff that I'm not sure I'd be able to push any back in.... Thx!

If final connection is being made at the lever, the Shimano instructions are a great guideline to start with.
If dealing with with completely internal routing, it will probably take some trial and error if terminating the hose at the lever. You need to ensure you have enough slack for smooth movement of the handlebar/steerer, but not so much so that it binds up, or makes noise within the frame or headset guide. When terminating the hose at the caliper end, it's a little more simple, since you can ensure smooth movement, and enough slack when passing through the BB area so that you have enough hose length for the caliper. Just keep in mind the "witness mark" for hose length at the ends for installation varies based on manufacturer.
