Anyone know what sort of rear brake hanger this would have? Can't find anything?

Tektro


Ordered and received - Thanks. Not sure i like this set up as the cable will have an off centre pull. I'll have to check when it's all cabled up.

A pain in the proverbial getting the front end right! I needed to fit a front cable hanger, king headset, controltech stem - steerer tube 5cm too short!

Fit a steerer tube extension (great pieces of kit if you haven't used one before) open cable hanger to find it doesn't work as the hole is too wide and the ferrule just pulls through - grrrr so that's a design fault or a 'bit' missing!!! Never mind - ransack my spares box and find something from an old Zoom stem that may just do the trick!!!!
