The suggestion is that when turning you won't be needing hard braking. That should be done before you remove you hands from the brakes. I don't like turning and using the front brake. It is against all common sense. You never brake a leaning, or turning (in the sense that its changing direction) wheel. You reach the correct speed to turn before turning.
Uk riders: Front brake - left or right lever?

The frame and brakes dictate how the cables are run imo for the smoothest cable run.
The one that gets me is STI's which sometime have a very tight curve at the headtube. After working on quite a few bikes I noticed that Specialized bikes cross over under the downtube to maintain a smooth run. I have since started doing this too, unless the build dictates that I shouldn't....I sound like a bike whisperer
