are you gary forsyth?
just to throw something else in the mix the Avid Magnesiums are a sweet running brake as well...
Ok, starts off here with short odyssey monolever, and a barrell adjuster sat in the top of the stemcapCable (inner only) runs down steerer and emerges through a teensy little angled hole you have to drill yourself, keeping a smooth cable line now...!! Then wop on a straddle cable as close to the tyre as possible ( for optimum clearance between cable hanger + forks - you may have to grind a bit off the back of the hanger or add a drop of grease ) and setup as normal. You have to put a small kink in the last inch of inner cable as you push it down the steerer so it finds its way out through the hole easierLooks neat, uses minimal cable, only hassle is getting hold of some canti lugs each time you change forks.Thanks to g.french for the idea, lugs + welding over the years!!

I always think of Gary whenever I hear Scarborough Fair.In fact it was down to Gary that I ever took an interest in Simon & Garfunkel.
