I was wondering if there was an alternative, or if I was just doing something wrong that would make the cable come out on the right, towards the caliper instead of away?
.....mmmmmm....errrrrr.....uhhhhhhhhh.........i'll try....
if the lever is installed on the left bar (lever pointing left), the cable housiing should exit from the right. Remove the cable from the housing, thread it through the interrupter (left to right). You should now have the cable-stop exiting to the left of the lever, and the cable exiting to the right. Re-thread the housing onto the cable. You should now have the cable-stop to the left, and the cable/housing to the right. Connect to caliper.
where are you going wrong? Or am i misreading your problem?
