i cant see how that would fit a stem ?

imagine it so that the 'elbow' is pointing back towards the steerer and the bottom of the elbow is down towards the brakes with the cable exiting through there and down (i.e. cable routing is reverse of what it would be for the way it's photographed).

Do any of [url= http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cable-hangers-dept683_pg1/ ]these from SJS[/url] solve the rear, various seatbolt mounted hangers?

Does [url= http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f_ProductID=12447&f_SupersetQRY=C183&f_SortOrderID=1&f_bct=c003154c003141c003205 ]this from Edinburgh Co-Op[/url] work for the front?

yeah but stems are all different shapes i could see it working on a bar perhaps but my bars are 26mm anyway ;-(

sorry rear is sorted with a hanger but its the front im stuck with . mefty the front fork needs a hole in the front for those i think

you can get stems that are drilled for canti brake cables.

Mike Ive some 44cm OS Bell Laps if you want to resolve the bar diameter issue...

yeah i think that may be the only option. that or swap forks over from the pompino to the crosscheck

Drill the fork!

i'll have a think nick thanks

i dont trust myself with a drill al im afraid and its on a curved surface too just to make it harder

Sorry misread your post.

come from the back!

other than finding a stem with a cable stop in (i can't find one quickly)
drilling the fork
getting a longer steerer

i'm not sure either...

Drill the fork. Use a smaller drill bit, come in from the back and use the rear hold as a guide and then once you have a pilot hole, you can keep stepping up the bit size until you get what you need.

what about one of those steerer extension things?

mark with punch before drilling

ive given up for now and put the crosscheck back to drops and the pomp to flat bars. i may swap back in the future but it will do for now.

i think i could probably go thru the back of the fork and buy a new hanger but i think i will just keep my eyes out for a used pomp fork with a longer steerer or even buy new later

thanks all

only thing i can offer is to get a super-low stack headset which might give you space for a spacer hanger under the stem.
