Solution for Impossible to Find Gran Compe 450 centerpull brake Straddle Cables

[Gary Jacobson]

I figure that for the record I'd post this so that a solution I developed
for fashioning a straddle cable for Gran Compe 450 centerpull brakes can be
used by others. That brake uses a virtually unobtainable ca. 105 mm.
straddle cable with cable ends on both ends like those on a Campy ergo shift
cable.. My soultion was to use Avid Tri-Dangle straddle cable carriers and
cinch down the cables of two used Campy Ergo shift cables. All you need are
those Tri-Dangles and four Ergo cablesand you're set to go.(Or stop

Hope this helps some one out there.
