That Scott Voltage is ruined by the untidy dangly-ness of the front brake hose - so I'm oot.*

C'mon bike and fork manufacturers, how hard can a headset-routed inside-the-fork telescoping hose be? Preferably with the caliper mounted onto an o-ring hydraulic seal direct to the fork and stay? For that matter why not integrate the levers into the bars to eliminate the shame of visible hoses once and for all?**

* Nothing to do with the price or the horror show of maintaining or adjusting it.

** I bet at least one of these ideas will exist in the next 5 years.

Telescoping hose? As you compress the fork you’ll lock the front brake… Electronic brakes are clearly the correct fix.

Brake by wire, now there’s an accident waiting to happen! I didn’t say all my ideas would happen, and certainly not my self servo-ing brake hose, but someone set a timer for 5 years time.
