Does anyone know where to get one of these? V Brake Adapter

[Neil]

there's no proper full-size cable outer in that photo - v-brakes need that to work

So how would cantis work, then?

That's what I'm struggling to understand? The distance between stops using either the canti bridge, or the v noodle would be very similar, so how would cantis work, then?

Lawrence,

here you go, my friend:

http://www.phred.org/~alex/bikes/brakes.html

great page, (perhaps you have seen it already); it has a few good setups for running V' on canti frames.

cantis dont use the rear section of housing as an integral part of their function, the frame stop in the centre of the stays provides the fixed point

with a V, the stop on the top tube is the last fixed point.

Rob,

Saw that but none of it will apply to a klein. Stupid internal routing!!!

I should have the Attitude built in the next couple of weeks using the "Klein Do Dah" and will post a photo at that point.
I am still going to look for an alternative but I really don't see one at the moment.

Using Canti levers with V's is not the problem, it's getting a way to put V's on a frame that does not have a V brake cable ferrule stop.
A "travel agent" is used when you are using long pull levers with short pull brakes. They are great little devices but they will not work for me.

I'm having the same problem with my Scapin.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16732514@N ... 737589623/ A cable outer COULD be run from the cable guide, but the angles are too tight. One of those gadgets would work a treat! I'm thinking of modiying a Rollamagig, but it's not a priority right now.

Maybe these will help people understand, may be not

This is how Canti's work

With a V the stop in the noodle is the last fixed point - equivalent of the canti hanger. And pertinent to this, the stop in the noodle is quite close, location wise, to where a canti hanger would be.
