can someone show me some pics how the cable goes into a u brake to use as fron brake etc ?
only got one barrel thingy but the caliper def says front or rear on box.

Depends how fancy you want to get mate.

I've simply jammed my cable into the brake mid school style. All you need then is a knarp for t'other end. It's not the most sophisticated setup but it works.

You dont need an adjuster on the brake cos there is one on the lever. Keep it clean and tidy, nice short cable. 
Mmmmmmmmmm

You can get these Greg, I know the other ways work, but this is the easiest way

This is it done using the adjuster that comes with the ad990's, the odyssey one is much neater.

This is the one you're getting Greg, I did say it wasn't pretty, but works, when I had a front brake, I did the same as Alex, but with an adjustable knarp the other side, it was scruffy, but not as bad as these.

gotta say alexs way looks smoothest by far i like plenty adjustment though as the lever adjusters alwaya break on me eventually lol
i fdomnt normally run front brake but removed my s&M xlt forks and fitted set oddysey thermals with brake mounts and thrown cheap rush brake caliper on .wioth good set blocks it sort works a treat for few front end tricks.
all i can say is you know its mid school it weighs a ton lol,must be over 30lbs bike
ill throew pic on when i find the camera

I agree it works spot on.

I put it on having run it without first using just the knarps, that was a pain the the arse to adjust especially with a new cable that was stretching.

Although neater I read somewhere the odyssey one doesn't fit I thought about getting one and modding it but couldn't be bothered.

you dont need owt but the cable to fit in the 'adjuster' arm. i been running mine like this for years with no problems and i ride flatland so constantly using my brakes

(no i'm not the brakeless new skool variety.    )
