i have the VO cable hanger and it isnt worth the box it was shipped it. the split in the barrel adjuster opens up when the brakes are applied and the tolerance on the threads is so bad i could barely turn the adjuster and lock ring even while there is not cable tension on it.

VO has the dia compe unit with the quick release. i was afraid to try it biased off my experience above. thanks for the info.
