Lamplight,
Nope, no cable stops. Now,there is a hanger on the seat post that I might end up using for either the derailleur or the rear brakes.It is currently cantilever brakes, but I'll switch to V-brakes,so it won't need that hanger for the brakes.
My Trek 930-which I think is one year later-no lugs-triple butted OX II has a brazed stop on the seat tube,and it has a fancy little brake hanger on the seat stay cross member. The fancy gadget is sprung,and adjustable. My Trek 950 has a hole in the cross member for it-and flats on the cross member to install one-but no sign-marring-that one was ever installed.The pictures-930 fancy gadget-950 no gadget-lie a little.The 950 surface looks slightly marred, but that is strictly my poor photo.
I'm thinking about using the hole in the cross member as a cable stop for the derailleur.I would have to slightly "plug" un underside,so the cable would actually stop.
Thanks,
Charlie
PS I think you guys are right.The bottom pull derailleur was original,and that boss with the screw in it had some sort of wheel to reverse direction of the cable.The seat tube hanger on the 950 must have been for the brakes.The original derailleur has a swivel cable stop on it,that I didn't really understand.
It must have stopped the cable casing that came from above,allowed the cable thru it to go down to the wheel,and come back up to the cable fastening screw.The picture is showing the cable stop,and the cable fastening screw.Wow,that is certainly doing it the hard way.
Thanks for the help.I absolutely could have never figured this out with help.I'll hunt for a reversing wheel, but I don't expect to find one.I'll see if I can find a clamp on cable stop for the seat tube.Hanging the derail cable from the brake stop cross member hole isn't very elegant, but it will do for now.
Charlie
