What you write makes sense (I think he's referring to the pic on the previous page of my Xtracycle's Paul cantilever front brakes). I just took a close look at it, and it appears that I have it set up the way "Paul" intended. There is a little "valley" in the cable clamp that accomodates the cable on the side I'm using. If I just stare at it a little longer . . .
