New school spoke instead of straddle cable mod

<< < (2/2)

harris:
I use a similar thing, but just cut the bent end of.
i screw a nipple on the threaded part and re bend the cut end at the straddle hanger
that way i can adjust the tention evenly via the nipple,, i still use a knarp for extra security.

dirtbro:
And the really good thing about it  is that it won't snap when you least expect it

evamedia:
I've never snapped a straddle cable

CD17:
This is interesting, can you show me a close up of how this is connected to the brake please  :)

JT71:
it's just into two of the barrel things that fit in the brake arm.
it might slip, so i'm going to file a notch in the spoke where the grub screw bite.

Alex suggested Dan's idea of using the threaded part with a nipple on, but that's something for me to try in the future.
