88..Trekker Gear Cable vs U Brake query

Re:

Well, i've tried everything to get something sorted to test out the theory, but each and every Sti unit I fitted was faulty
So, back to square one I am.
I've amended my 'wanted' ad now so need to be patient and see what occurs.

Thanks for all replies so far, it is much appreciated.

Can't say this for sure, but the bike I cabled (again, not Trekker) had the plastic thingy of a shape that it was in the end leading the cable directly through the brake boss, so the cable didn't touch it (or not a lot).
(sorry, poorly visible from the pic and the bike is gone already - just to give an idea that another cable guide can make quite some difference.)
