What is it called?

Maybe a pivoting cable stop.

No.


Cantis need a cable stop. Cable stops should sit as low as possible to limit the possibility of brake chatter due to fork flexing during braking. A traditional cable stop can't be fitted there and still leave room enough for the yoke/transverse cable. That gadget doubles as both cable stop and replaces the transverse cable with a link cable. A safer option since a transverse cable set-up at main cable failure might snag a knobbly tire and cause an OTB.
