Ta. Another bit of bike knowledge.
Just looking at the picture slightly gives me the jibblies as I've heard of incidents where the brake cable snapped, dumping the straddle cable into the tyre tread and causing an unplanned crash stop and subsequent superman impression over the bars. I got into the habit of zip-tying my straddle cable hanger to the hole in the fork crown as a result.
