An acquaintance had a stroke and only has use of his right hand so bike has to be set up for one-handed shifting and braking. I've looked at the 'World Class Wishbone' cable splitter; harriscyclery.netpage.cfmOpen ↗
Does anyone have any experience with it? I was wondering if it would work for shrt cable fr brake and x-long cable rear brake (recumbent) as fr brakes usually require less pressure than rear.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get him back on a bike. Barry Davidson

Works OK on my tandem, with a longer rear cable than on a recumbent, so you should be OK for what you want.
Anyone selling tandem parts will probably be able to supply suitable dual pull levers.

I have used this device on my bike. See: jrees.netLeftyOpen ↗ for pictures. I have only a partial right hand, and cannot use STI levers. In this application, I have the front brake be the straight through cable, and the rear attaches (inside the gizmo) to the front cable. I have it biased so the front touches the rim first. Works great for me. John Rees
