Like anything, it depends on which ones you choose Andy. The Ritchey dodads are sold in singles, so we're talking over $20 a pair, but they are not even relevant to this discussion! Inline adjusters are sold in pairs, usually about $8-10. Like these : http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEAMSSX-New-JAGWIR

Well Parick, you've likely already bought something for this, but would you believe it ... such a product does exist as you imagined. It's the Shimano SM-CB90 . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

Quick-release front cable-hanger from Velo Orange. I used one of these for a while. It *might* be a bit more flexy than the typical aluminum hangers, but not terribly so based on my observation. http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/brakes/parts/dia-compe-cable-stop-with-quick-r
