Yes, I'm intimately familiar with the travel agents from my Proflex MTB. Sorry...not even close ;-)

Tom, come on, get real, you know that tubing is reqiured to get there. Do you really think they cross drilled the whole frame.

I've operated a lot of hydraulic heavy machinery. Other than filling an entire frame tube (which is certainly possible, but not so light), there is flexible tubing and rigid tubing. Are there other realistic options? If yes, what are they?

I believe the flexible "tubing" is called hydraulic hose.

Yes, good point, that is what it is correctly called. But, short of filling a whole frame element with hydraulic fluid, other than a small "tube" (rigid, flexible, whatever) how else do you move fluid? If there is another practical way to transmit hydraulic pressure on a bike, I'd be interested to hear it.

Any sort of passageway is fine. Have you ever looked at the valve body of an automatic transmission? ;-) (slightly off-topic...I LOVE how non-electronically controlled automatic transmissions are designed. Fluid logic, baby!)

The point is, I was responding to an assertion that hydraulic tubing can't be routed much differently than traditional cabling, which isn't necessarily true.

Not close at all. A banjo fitting on a mountain disc brake makes a 90* turn in about 2mm.

for the love of science it's not about the stopping power it's about the brake lines you can run and the aerodynamics you can get with a brake freed up from the mechanical cable construct.

Or you could take it even one more step and use them for shifting (yes I know there is already a system out there) which would end the stupid loop that you need for the rear derailleur and make it even more aero. You could run all of the lines internal and just exit right at the RD and FD with no exposed cables. I am actually surprised that Shimano Di2 does not use a 90 degree connector to eliminate the loop and have it tight to the chainstays.

I think this has been discussed quite a bit when it first came out. The consensus is that they wanted it to "look" right. Same reasoning behind two buttons on the front shifter. Only one is really needed there.

What would make hydraulic brakes a leap, is if they incorporate ABS. Excellent braking, and idiot proof (lots of triathletes seem to be idiots as far as mechanics and handling/braking skills). I doubt this is part of the new Magura offering, but with electrics now onboard bicycles, this is a future possibility...no I'm not kidding.

Dave, I was wondering if it's a possibility that they could be electric over hydraulic either wired or wireless. Having the electric switch in the brake levers and an electric operated hydraulic cylinder in the head tube connected to the slave cylinder/caliper?

I would say with bars and brakes. Which would be about right. If it doesnt it would be way more then what they were acting like it was gonna be.

You should be able to. We do this at work with pnuematics. Why would it not work with hydraulics.

It would be pretty sweet if they did, the two things that I think go against that are 1. cost and 2. the pic that looked like the brake levers and the calipers were connected by a hydraulic line/hose.

I know that the pnuematic version to do this is not very expensive, I am not sure about hydraulic versions. So costs might not be as bad as you think.

The P5 is the first bike that I have seen in the 6 years since my P3C purchase that makes me want to stop wasting money on bitches and save my money for a new bicycle.

Yeah, the "fly by wire" concept, and coupled with Di2, could get rid of cabling all-together. Clean, but I doubt we're making that much of a leap here.

Well the current record appears to be held by a thread affectionately known as the Official Speed Concept Repair Manual which is nearing half a million views and has over 3800 replies to date.

CLASSIC! Goes directly to why I'm following the P5 intro with such interest.

If you're familiar with banjo fittings you know that the Avid Roll-a-ma-jig doesn't make a 90* nearly as tight as the banjo, then. Not even close. The 90* turn with the Roll-a-ma-jig is what, 14-16mm or so vs 2-4mm for a banjo bolt. Not to mention the 90* bend on these brakes is behind the brake rather than hanging off the side....

Side note that not a ton of people know, but Magura still makes a ton of the hydro mtb rim brakes. I thought that was pretty cool that you could order a new set today.

I believe the flexible "tubing" is called hydraulic hose.

Actually, there is "flex tubing". It is special titanium tubing that is designed for a limited amount range of motion. Generally though tubing refers to a rigid line. Hoses can be used for installations that require a larger range of motion. If you need to route the tubing around a point that will pivot, a banjo or swivel will be used.
