Thanks Jeremy
I think you're right that they are generally similar. I ran into this a few
years ago and somehow came to the conclusion that the 82mm/B version was
correct, but since I couldn't remember how exactly I decided that it seemed
like asking again was a good idea... Based on Sheldon's info (and if I
understand it), the shorter cable should be a bit better as the angle on
these brakes is a bit less than the 90* ideal so I will probably go with the
82mm. I was originally thinking that with a front rack it is harder to keep
an eye on things, so the link wire would add some safety, but with a fender
the straddle cable can't drop into the tire anyway so it would be for
ease/convenience...
Regards, Doug

I have tektro oryx's on my touring bike, which I'm pretty sure have
the same basic geometry as the older shortys. I used the 93 degree
link wires last time i replaced the cables, and they work fine:

You could probably get away with one of the 82 degree sets as well,
which would imitate the function of a shorter/lower straddle cable; i
might try that that on another set i recent picked up for another bike
but have yet to install. I love the simplicity of set-up with link
wires.

Howdy folks.
I am going to try one of these brakes on the front of my fixie porteur
and
I'm thinking using a link wire might be a good idea. Alas, they come in
5
different lengths and I have no idea which one is the normal size.
Google
didn't turn up anything helpful. I may go with a traditional straddle
wire
and hanger, but I would like to know which link wire is correct just the
same. Anybody know?
Thanks, Doug
