Kona Sex Rear Brake Query...
- Thread starter Bike Hoarder
- Start date
The outer houses a continuous cable which runs to the RH brake arm as pictured, terminating at the RH bolt clamp.
.....just as it would be in an open cable setup with this type of hanger ie no space for wire travel necessary as the outer just happens to "be there" if that makes sense.
Using this type of hanger is the key - the cable is fixed anyway and needs no "slack"
I think.

Sussed it
The mock up photo uses gear outer with a wider brake cable metal ferrule - this has slipped down the cable and hides the "free" inner wire, which is about 15mm. When I pull the bake lever - ferrule slides back up. :roll:
Knew it somehow defied sense
Will revisit using seatstay braze-on when opparchancity presents itself

Do you actually have the rear brake pivot arm thingy? And if so are you keeping it? I am looking for one for a Jamis that uses the same system.
Many thanks
Many thanks
