I have a brake-line routing question. I am trying out using a cross lever for the first time and I would prefer to use it on the right hand. But the place where the cable goes in the caliper brake is also on the right side and I can't figure out what the best way to route the cable is.

I have a very old and nasty brake with the pull on the left side but I can't seem to find a new one. Do they make them anymore?

I could mount the left brake lever backwards on the right hand side but this will get rid of some of the hand space on the tops. I am using 31.8mm bullhorns with an aero top so there actually isn't much room to move the brake levers around.

Should I just try to route the cable going left back to the right side or should I just resign myself to using a left hand brake?
