I'm looking for one so I can try some canti brakes on the front of my Tricross. However, the few I've found all seem to need silly postage. I remember when V brakes first came out, we copuldn't throw those hangers away fast enough where I worked. Anyone know where there might be a reasonably priced one?
I have a spare 1 1/8 cable hanger thing spare which fits onto the steerer if you want.
btw what is a kona style hanger
The kona style is the one that mounts in the hole on the forks where you used to have the reflectors. It seems a common problem with 'cross bikes is a long front brake cable sets up a resonance issue and the best solution I've been told is to shorten that length by mounting the cable stop to the forks rather than up in the stem area.
it's a radical thought i know, but have you tried your LBS?
😉
Yep, I got the usual response. We could order it but they'll be a small parts charge of £5 on top of the part and postage.
I bought mine from cycle express - I did pay postage though.
I don't mind postage but the one I saw was £9 for the part and £4 for postage. Not the end of the world but just seems a bit wrong. I'll give cyclexpress a look then. Cheers.
We may well have just what you need at a sensible price, call me tomorrow after 9.30am and i'll check they're still there.02920371321
Don't bother calling, just checked and they've all gone.Sorry.
Thanks for looking anyway.
I will have a look in the garage tonight I might have one.
