The whole angled arm thing is crap. Straight arms are much better.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
Dave, are you talking about the £19 ones off Cyclesport? they work a treat mate on seat stays........i'm running one on mine and it's fine mate.....great brake to

I'm no engineer, but I would have thought that having the kink/bend in the stronger brake arm is better than having the cable kinked. At the moment I have a hombre on the chain stay and was thinking of getting one of these angled 999's and using a spoke as the bridging cable like I have seen (JT71, Harris). I have no hole through my seat tube. At the moment you can see that the cable would be pulling up on the brake arms as it does not run straight into the arms.Hope that kinda makes sense
