Ok, just trying to figure out why rear hanger has two holes..one big and one small. Stop giggling. IMG_20220415_165027.jpg

Bike is a Klein Navigator.
 
The last one of those I saw, the little hole is for a stop screw that should rest against the frame to adjust the cable position/tension, the big hole is for the ferrule on the outer cable to seat into. Or for a threaded adjuster.
 
Ouch! It’s making me cringe imagining the adjuster worming away at the paint on the frame!
 
Mystery solved! Makes sense.
The previous owner replaced the cantis with v-brakes so just had bracket but no screws attached.
