Fusion 0250 Rear Brake Hanger Issue..NOW SORTED, THANKS

Racin'snake · Dec 28, 2011

Hi Folks,

While putting together this great find the first problem I have encountered is that I really want to fit cantis though it but there is no rear brake cable stop/hanger. I'm sure these came fitted with cantis back in the day. In the manufacturer catalogue section on here there is a pic on the from cover of my exact model but I just cant make it out....arrrrggggh! I can't seem to find an aftermarket one.....or...am I being stupid???!!!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

It might have had a separate hanger that attached via the seat bolt or somewhere thereabouts. Some manufacturers used to do that on smaller frames.

Hi,
You could use a device like this:

Hi and thanks.....the thing about this device that concerns me is that for a clean centre pull it will have to hang from the centre of the seat bolt and would not be firmly attached causing the brake pull to lose power??? or again....am I being stupid?

Just had an idea....I could use that little device if I were to bend it at 90 degrees and bolt it to the little hole on the cross member between the stays where it says fusion???

It is not a problem if it sits loose, it just needs to hold the outer cable back, i've seen such a thing in the flesh, it looks simple but it works.
If you bend it 90 degrees you wil loose power, because the power needed for braking wil be consumed by the device bending back.
Hope this makes sense.

If I were you I'd try to fit it between the seatstays where the seatbolt is exposed. If this prohibits proper clamping of the seatpost I would attach it on the side of the seatbolt.
