I've recently got a bike up and running which came with the cables going over the top of the bars. I've been made aware that they can go behind or under. I have a bike that will have external cables to cable up and was wondering is there a prefered method? What are the pros and cons? Does stem...

Finally got this up and running and took it for its first 50k spin today. All as from when purchased last year, apart from some racey Tufo tyres, San marco saddle and some slick white (for now) bar tape. Lightest bike in my arsenal, fairly floating up the hills thanks to the light weight and...
