  • Bought big tires for my mountain bike, then suddenly freaked out about the absence of "safety hook" (no idea how they are called) to my front (canti) brakes. I was hoping to eBay some basic black plastic thingy but didn't find anything (didn't look very thoroughly to be honest). So to keep my mind at peace, I made a hook out of a stainless steel spoke, with a bit of heat shrink sleeve.

  • Surely with that style of “straddle” cable (where the cable goes from brake lever to the brake with the anchor bolt) there is no need for a safety hook? If the straddle cable was a more traditional one that goes from brake to brake, the need would be there?
