New school spoke instead of straddle cable mod

(1/2) > >>

JT71:
got the idea after seeing Alex and Twobob discuss it in a thread and today I got around to doing it.

a bent spoke, about 300mm long, replaces the straddle cable resulting in less "spongyness" and, in my opinion a
tidier look.

(the cable hanger is a PeaceOff canti hanger courtesy of the Stodgmeister)

apologies for poor quality cam phone pics.

Looks a bit heavy. I use a gear cable as they are thinner and lighter...    Only joking. Hmm- I might try that. With a ti spoke...
