Isn't there an entry on the downtube ?

No, there isn't any dedicated entry/exit for the rear brake hose on the downtube. I have two holes on the sides of the downtube : one for each shift cable housing (pictures attached). The rear brake hose enters at the chainstay and stops in the headtube.

You are right, thanks. I copied my question and pasted it there

Hi everyone,

I am starting to build a Carbonda 1136 frame and I am facing a potential problem. I ordered the non integrated version of the frame so that I can use a regular handlebar, easily adjust the front setup, stem length etc. in the future.

So I have two holes on the sides of the downtube for the derailleurs housings, and also an entrance and exit on the fork leg for the front brake hose. That is it, so I am wondering where the rear brake hose is supposed to come out.

I was expecting another hole for the rear brake with this external version of the frame, somewhere at the top of the downtube. So I am wondering: is it a mistake from Carbonda ? Or is it normal with this frame and the rear hose is always supposed to pass through the headtube ? In the latter case, you would necessarily have to use a semi-integrated type of headset (FSA NO.69 SRS or Acros is52 ICR if I am not mistaken, or the FSA NO.55R for the fully integrated setup).

Thank you for your insights!
