Because I am too impatient, and was still hoping tonight that there was still a chance to try the cargo bike with the kids on Sunday, I bodged a double pull brake lever for the two front wheels V-brakes. The original cables, which had a split system, were unusable, and I thought it would be quicker than wait for specialist parts to be delivered. Successful but I used some old spare alloy struts from a front rack, hollow and threaded inside. Works fine but will inevitably weaken with time, so I'm going to order a proper dual pull lever. Spare cables I had were too short anyway, routing 's sucks. Thought I could get away without tandem length cables... SJS Cycles here I come!
