Installing front brake with Crosstop lever
I'm attempting to install a front brake on the fixie. Got a Sora caliper and Cane Creek Crosstop lever. Confused as to which way the cable routes through the lever! Forums say either works - push or pull will activate the caliper. Hmm . . . They're mainly referring to road bikes with existing brake levers, but this will be the only one. Any tips?
