All the angled arm does is hide the fact that there is a big kink in the cable alignment.
It does nothing to solve it :tickedoff:

Yeah, thats them. Around half price and CNC so they caught my eye.
Hmm, think I'll try one. Just wasn't sure if the angle would make the cable rub more on the adjuster on frame.
Stella Dave:
See for lower dual cable set up can i use my alone linear cable? I know i need another but would i have to buy it or can the one i have be halved? I'm thinking no as there wont be a knarp on the cut bit to put in the gyro.

Na, just have the brake on the chain stay and run the cable thru the seat tube. Its the best way, no question! Its a shame that fashion (oh, and micro drive) stops bikes having a chain stay brake.
