degrees of perfection. We can live long and happy lives with our brakes mounted upstairs or downstairs, just so long as they're set up properly
(apart from Captain Chainstay over there...)

Captain chainstay that ones gunna stick
3 very good pics to illustrate there Al.First pic of my gold S&M - I HATE HATE HATE the angle of that cable. Iwished I'd rememebred to ask for chainstay lugs. OI may actually have that frame's lugs moved by a frame builder.Second pic - my Black S&M - I love this brake set up. the cable angle is no where near perfect, but better than the gold bike, and the reason I didnt go for the hole in the seattube is ... read on...Third Pic - your blue S&M. I love the tidiness of the set up and cable line - but I hate sorking on brakes that have bugger all room for a spanner / allen key and my hands - it's all crammed into that little area . Plus Ive never liked frame tuibes with holes drilled in.But that said - the cable line is the best on that set up.There. Sorted.
