Question for this group. I'm an experienced mechanic with over 30 years of experience working in and around bikes. When installing the hydraulic hose into the steerer tube, I taped the hydraulic hose to the steerer tube with electircal tape just above the hole as I saw in the manual. I assume this is to prevent the hydraulic hose from hitting the inside of the head tube? Now when starting to measure for the brake hose length and try to leave some extra length to remove the stem for adjustments, the tape is preventing the hose from sliding in and out of the steerer tube to allow any extra length for this little extra adjustment. Once you other mechanics assembled the fork into the head tube, did you remove the tape to allow this little extra length of hose for this extra flexibility for adjustment?
Thanks in advance for the help and advise.
