Running a single cable with dual cable routing

<< < (2/3) > >>

mamadirt:
I guess so but I already have a nice new silver AD990 and my reasoning behind wanting to run a straight cable is down to prevous experience with mushy gyro brakes.  Drilling a hole would be more of a crime on an NOS frame than leaving off the gyro I reckon  ;) - not a lot of room for error either.  Just found this on the search which may possibly work but I may just have to put aside my gyro prejudice run it as nature intended.  Watch this space . . . 

bof:
you could run 2 cables from one of these I think

I had wondered if one of those would work, or whether I'd need to use the Odyssey gyro modulever cables with it (in which case I guess they'd be too short).  Worth a look though anyway.  Cheers!

TwoBobRob:
Make the straddle as long as is possible and it may work with a single cable.  The long straddle will lessen the offset a bit.  How may cable guides do you have, just a pair side by side, or two pairs?

mamadirt:
Just one pair, side by side, about halfway along the underside of the toptube.  Like you say, a long straddle cable and spring adjustment may help - thanks.
