Oh for the love of a saddle cable.
I've run into a bit of a problem in the mixte mockup. I need a saddle cable or bridge cable or whatever you call it for the rear centepull old school brake on the mixte. It needs to be long enough to engage both sides of the brake caliper from the front side of the seat tube. I looked at using some cables from a mountain bike cantilever center pull brake but they are waaaayyy too long I need something about twice the length of a normal Weinmann or dia compe centerpull cable. I even thought of making a little mold and cutting some brake cable to length and pouring the metal around them which it looks like how they are made but I think the ends are made from something a little tougher than lead. Does anyone out there have such a cable they would be willing to give up for a good cause?
