Casper: we put gear lines inside for two reasons: 1. less cablestops needed
for 1X and 2X options. 2. Its pretty nice and clean.
The reverb stealth is internal routing by default - so that one is a given.
Brakes aren't that hard to bleed, but it doesn't stop people from bitching
about having to do it. There are solutions like Sram connectamajig, but its
also a long round metal thing that has to fit through all the internal molded
tubes, which has its own set of challenges.
Its also easier to pack bikes for travel if you snip zip ties on the hydro
hoses. Opening your bike in a foreign land and realizing your brake hose was
damaged in transit from a kink is a drag.
hope that helps
