Hey Lurch your best Bet is to waitill you have it on the bike , then at least you can play around with different routing and so forth, also there are alot of variables , length of fork, rise of bars , stem length.Just play it safe man , wait till the fork is on your bike.It would be a bitch if you cut it and then found it ws too short.

I always have waited for the bike to be built up then.... I only make them long enough to turn the lever up to bleed them. I think shorter cables are better whether they are hydro or cable. Hope that helps...D
