I agree. And then, there's the issue of the cable having to match the
fitting on the actuation device. At the brake, of course, it's held by
a pinch bolt, but at the lever it's a made-on end that fits a receptacle
in the lever. But the important thing is, this has been done since time
immemorial with no problems.

As I've been doing some research on the subject, it's apparent that
this is just how people have been setting up their drag brakes
forever, at least as far back as I've been able to research, which is
several decades. Remember, it's not that you have to press hard to
stop the bike, you just need to pull the brake lever to get some
friction on the disc. Drum brakes which I think need a higher level of
force compared to large disc brake rotors have been set up this way
with no adverse issues.
Perhaps someone else knows more?Fed

Have we already had the discussion about the relative safety of
using a shifter cable to actuate a mechanical drag disc brake?
