1998 Barracuda A2B

I had a 1994 Barracuda A2Rs that was stolen . I loved that bike so much that I had to have another Barracuda. I found this 1998 on Amazon for $200 dollars. It was a great bike for 200 bucks but I had to make it mine.

I changed out the fork for a Rock Shox dart 3 with a lock out. New Cane Creek headset with a Easton E-50 Stem. I then went for a direct pull Avid brakes with new levers. Last I added a new Sel-Cof handlebar with a Vetta VL-110 computer. I still want to change out the pedals and I should be good to go..

I ran into some problems running the cable for the back brakes. They use little circle mounts for the cable so I am still thinking how I am gonna make that work permanent .. Here are some pics. Hope you guys like and any suggestions on the rear brake cables would be great.. I have to have one post for Pics so pics will follow.. This is a great forum..

could you tae pics of the circle mounts?

Here is the front mount...


Here is the rear as you can see it is just a circle not sure how I could use with the new brakes. So I just wired tied the cable for now. Thanks for the help

the 'whole' mount is for cable outer to go through take the cable off and 'thread it through

It wont fit thru... Thats the problem... I think you are telling me to slide the housing and the cable thru?

Have you got a pic of all of the left side of the bike?

Thats a cable guide for using cantis, the inner ran right to the back brake.

You need a cable stop of some sort - they made them for konas, perhaps one of these would fit.

Thanks fingers.. I should have made that clear....

hi mate, i like the bike. it looks very tidy for a 98.
