Default Wing conduit

Just finished installing the black plastic conduit through the wing ribs. Question is...Is there any reason/advangtage to leave the inboard length extra long to extend into the fuselage...or should I trim length at the inboard rib? Any thoughts???

Default No need

There really isn't a convenient way or reason to do this. There is very little space there to work with. I put a connector at the wing root to make wiring easier.
