Funny 'cause whatever the original setup was is lost in the mists of time (or I killed those brain with a night of drinking, whatever) so I just set it up the way that seemed to work the best. I got tired of the brake cable blocking the removal of the straddle cable. Now I can just pinch the calipers and pop the hanger right off the straddle cable in seconds. I'm fine with the way it works in practice, especially on the MAFACs.
