• Cheers, I'll give this a go. The other option is to mount it on the plate in between the middle set of stays, with a straight and much shorter cable run, which would presumably make for better braking, if it works. I might be missing some reason why that's not possible though - otherwise why would the original be mounted where it is?

    Potentially even using a centre pull like this, if I can find the right cable stop/ferrule. At the moment the outer cable fits through the hole in the bridge so I would need something to trap it.

  • I don't know where you are based but if you are in London, pop by Brixton Cycles and I'll give you the right ferrule to make a center pull brake work.
