Hi,
I decided to move back from fixed to freewheel as I miss the option to coast, especially with my bike now being finished it glides like on glass - but I obviously can't enjoy that with a fixed setup.
So, the question is: how to most elegantly add a rear brake without spoiling the looks too much? I am talking in particular about the cables, as it's a track frame without any fixtures for that.
I found this, but is this the best way? (available everywhere for like 2 quid each, apparently stainless steel and comes in various diameters). ~~I would buy two and have no outer in the middle, like it's standard on many frames. ~~ failed to realize that these are just clamps, not cable stops
