Title: Pitbull positions
Post by: ED209 on April 13, 2011, 12:18 PM

Before I start cock-a-doodle-doing about with it does anyone know if I can run a Oddy Pitbull 'under' the brake bridge?

not to sure you can Edwardo, the only other way (and by far the neatest) is to run them on the chainstays when they have a hole through the seat tube (like my assassin) but those Haro's came with them like that mate.  messy aint they

you could always ditch the black cable holder thing and use an Oddy Pozi stop seat clamp instead?  might make it look a bit better and allow you to run it underneath?

no reason why not, but you may do well to use a linear slick cable to allow tight bend round the seat tube so won't impead inner cable

i dont think a pozi stop would work as i'd assume the angle to cam would be way off

cool - I'll give it a go then - I've got a new lower Odyssey cable off Stodge and it can't be any more tight on the turns than it already is!

will have a play tonight  :daumenhoch:
