Brakes/straddle cable
1991 Raleigh mtn bike. Has center pull cantilever brakes. The front hardware is original and the straddle cable is about 100 mm long. The rear stuff is gone and I am putting on a new cable and shop gave me a similar piece but it is marked rear, B/82. So it is shorter. I have been told the longer cable gives u less mechanical advantage so the front has "less" grip than rear? Been riding awhile with no rear brakes and thought it was good to have both.
