Re: [RBW] FS: CHEVIOT

The braze-on is correct for the segment of cable housing to go from it to the rear side-pull brake. And it's offset to the left side slightly, just like on diamond frames to facilitate the cable routing. Option one, which I'll check, is to run the cable straight to the yoke for the centerpull

On the Wilbury, there is no rear cable stop on the top tube. So right now, I'm assuming that centerpulls don't need it and in the case of the Betty and Cheviot, since the rear cable stop is needed for the side pull brakes, you either bypass it entirely as long as the cable doesn't rub it, or just

The cable hanger isn't the part René is asking about. You can actually use any yoke though I'd recommend a wide one so it easily goes around the seat tube. I considered Paul's Moonie but what I had has worked fine. The *necessary* part is what the brake cable goes through at the cable stop. It
