( thanks for the constructive comment... I was expecting..."are you colour matching your bike to your hammer"  :smitten: )

pickle:

Ed,

The pic below is an evolver set up in the same way, except your two cables will cross over behind the seattube and go into the diagonally opposite brake arm.

Like wirewheel says, stick a regular cable clamp in one side, and a grub screw type of nipple clamp in the other, and it should work fine.

This is only the case for twin lower gyro cables though. If you're running a single brake cable from the lever, just get a straddle cable and regular cable hanger and ignore the two cable guides at each side of the seattube altogether. If you need a straddle cable and hanger, drop me a PM. Should have something here that'll work which you can have foc.

I am finding it all a bit perplexing too Ed, building up this Mongoose with loads of brakey bits that i'm sure I wont need, I can't see me ever needing a rotor either, my arms only `x' up to 180 at best!

gonna try and work out a single cable/saddle straight from the lever.

let us know how you did it if you beat me there, i'll do likewise!

Mark
