How does your's hang ???
« on: October 14, 2013, 11:22 PM »
Looking at a few rides I see some of you like your rear cable to hang different on the top tube !
some on top and some to the right side - a few to the left and some under the tube

so who does what and what looks best ?

cheers B  ???

I like mine to the right but if it was with a 901 it would have to be to the left, the ones that fit them on top are usually running them with the chrome cable clamps (so the screw is fitted out of the way i.e. under the bar)
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider

I run the DC clamps (chrome, not the plastic one's) and for picture shots face the DIA COMPE part out towards the right side

same as matching tyre logo up with valve cap - and taking pic's chain side

But I do wonder what people prefer ?



also rear brake left or right ? and if running a pair, is it the same side as running a single ? so does that also count which way the cable is ?

No, I could get confused in a sudden braking situation and end up under a bus

Back brake lever on the right, cable around the headtube and down the left side/underside of whicher tube leads to where your brake is. Anything different to that is incorrect.  :yahoo_silent:

   Front brake on the right, rear brake on left. Cable down the right side of top tube held with chrome DC clamps. This is the only way to do it and is actually law in 12 different countries..................may be.

I always put my rear brake lever on the right, even if I have a front brake too. :-\

As for the cable if you have a frame pad installed, run it underneath through the middle of the foam.  :daumenhoch:

Rear brake lever on right  :daumenhoch:

Cable to right of top tube running through the gap in the Frame Pad  :daumenhoch:

or

Cable on top if using DC cable clamps... think the screw looks better underneath  :daumenhoch:
