I have got a Boardman cx comp which comes with dual brake levers (main set on the hoods and a small set on the bars). I want to get rid of the set on the bars as the bars are cramped and could do with getting rid of them.
Will this set do the job? They are full outlets all the way to the rear brake.
will have to replace the bar tape too I think

Yes
I reckon the length of the outers will be tight for front and rear full length. Best bet is to just measure the length of the outers on the bike.
Cheers wasn’t sure if something special was required as I haven’t done disc brakes with cables before especially with the additional brake levers.
You could add some inline cable adjusters to join the cable casing where the cross top Levers are fitted at the moment.
Saves undoing the bar tape but the adjusters may be in your way or rattle
As orangeboy says.
I found it easier just to slide in some inline cable adjusters.

Nothing special as long as the cable ends match the levers and the cables are long enough. The generic road kits are sometimes not long enough for some disc bikes, easy enough to check with a tape measure. TRP spec compressionless outer rather than spiral wound.
