what cable hangers are you guys using. i'm using the ones tha came witht he spooky and i'm not too happy with them...i'm afraid to overtighten the hanger so i don't strip the little set-screws and then when i jam on the brake levers the cable pulls through just enough to flatten and strighten the strands of the brake cable. :(

looking for replacements and looking for suggestions
:)

im just afraid to overtighten them. i cranked the hell out of the 2.5 mm (LOL) set screws against themselves..so far so good, but i think ill switch to a traditional style soon...or when I have to re-cable my brakes.

yeah... you have to crank the ell out of them...... but they normally hold. I have been using them for 2 years.... Spooky, 4ZA all the same setup. If you want to upgrade, go look at Pauls components, they have a nice unit.
