Would running a full outer to a seatpost ferrule be an option? Would at least take out the cheese wire problem. :shock:

I spy a seatpost collar acting as a cable guide?

Re:

Christ you've got good eye sight....

on another note what's the chances that gnarly trail is actually a paved road, its certainly not as out back
as they'd have you believe as there's a retaining wall in the foreground

I don't want to take anything away from what Adrians doing nor for that matter the bike itself,
but the more I look at the original article the more you realise there was a lot of smoke and mirrors going on.


Missed you on Sunday at Dowies Adrian !

Don't say things like that, my view of the mountain bike press and the virgin honest reporting of my youth will be tarnished forever.

As you were Adrian....

Love the Dowies trails - was there with 50 other fatties!! what time were you there?

Tried one type of rear hanger - failed.... on to the next - dammed if I am going to come back from two u brakes without a bit of a fight!!

Alas I rode past on the road with Gloucester CC ... Although it was on a 96 MTB with inch slicks... Which certainly marks me out for all the wrong reasons.

Well done Mark, that's the problem solved...

FWIW this is the same part used for Zinn upper rollers.

Re:

Thanks for all the suggestions

This is the solution so far, slightly remodeled cable hanger..... gives that extra 1/2" needed
