Did I read on here that fork-mounted cable hangers are the way to go with canti brakes? Is this Tektro one the thing I want or are there better ones?
Edit: it’s going on a very chunky alloy fork with a 1-1/4” threaded steerer. It looks like there is enough space to clear the lower headset race. I’d have to drill out the rear hole in the fork to suit the recessed nut fitting. And fingers crossed the bolt is long enough.
If I used a steerer-mounted one, it would have to go above the headset on my quill to a-head adapter which is 28.6mm. Original hanger was on the stem, but I’m not using that stem.
