How do you use this Mafac cable stop?
Saw this available from a seller. Is anyone here, got this installed in their bike? Would like to see photos. Thanks

Like the Addict, it's for a tandem, probably with a mixte rear. That device is bolted to the rear seat binder. The cable housing loops from underneath, stops at the lower "L", then the cable loops up and over and pulls on the straddle cable of the brakes mounted on the rear stays.
I think. I'd love to see one mounted on a bike.

They were used on some mixtes and tandems with MAFAC and other center pull brakes mounted on a bridge between the seat stays. The cable run is from below. Those pulleys were a PIA to set up.
Most mixtes came with more sensible cable routing with the brake caliper mounted on a bridge between the "down" tubes.
