I would like to start a new thread but I'll go ahead and ask here:

Today I had a few questions answered while I was at the LBS about my first Canti setup... but all of my questions were not answered.

Basically... I am in need of cable hangers

for the front I have the option of a
Stem mount:


...Or I could go with a
fork mounted cable hanger:


Although a concern I had about fork mounted was the use of a fender as well as a front mounted rack.

...As for the rear setup I have the options of either a

seatpost clamp with integrated hanger:


...or something like the

Surly hanger...:


... Basically, this is my first cantilever setup and I never realized the amount of options one has for cable holders and the like. I will most likely go with a fork mounted cable guide (that performance one looks flush mount so adding a fender and rack look plausible) and for the rear I'll most likely go with a hanger (mostly to keep the cost down... It would be nice to find a funky monkey)...but I would love to hear about other peoples setups and what interesting things people have come across when setting up their canti bikes.
