V BRAKE CONVERSION

Mr Panda · Jan 30, 2009

Attached is a crop from photo posted by Anthony earlier (sorry 'bout that!)

I'm interested in the cable clamp at rear of top tube, holding rear v brake cable. I'm converting a cinder cone frame to run V's and currently don't have a neat method to secure the cable at this point, or at the seat tube.

is there a specific name for these clamps and are they readliy available?

cheers

But some people simply drill out the seatpost cable guide a wee bit to accept an outer ferile.
