Just a quick follow-up, I got one of Surly's long cable hangers
http://surlybikes.com/parts/small_parts/cable_hanger and it doesn't
interfere with the binder bolt / collar like the Nitto one did. So, no
filing necessary. Thanks again for all the replies.

It's a long time since high school physics for me, but I think any
upwards force the cable exerts on the straddle wire is going to be felt
as downwards force by the cable stop. Ted's comment sums up my concern...
hmm, I think you've talked me out of it.
Now I just have to decide whether to
Tom,
You might also consider taking a file to your binder bolt. I don't think
filing down some of the threads in the middle of the bolt significantly
weakens it, and there is no need for threads in the space between the ears
of the seat tube lug. I think I did that on my SimpleOne to get the
That's a really good question, and since obviously the seat stay bridge is
a lot thinner than a crown, it does introduce the possibility of some
rotation from the torque. On the other hand, traditional brazed on housing
stops that bridge the stays much like a seat stay bridge are made from
My Bombadil has a brazed on stop.
The two BRUTE_FORCE workarounds for you could be: 1. Switch to V-Brakes
and 2. Get the Paul Funky Monkey that clamps to the seat post.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I have one of the longer Nitto
binder-bolt-mounted stops, but it interferes with the binder bolt. Not the
end of the world, and I can make it work, just looking for other options.

Why avoid the seatpost one?
I used one of these on my Bomba:

Thanks Bill, my other Bomba (MTB) also has a brazed on stop, which is
nice. I'm actually switching from V-brakes to cantis on this bike
(tourer/commuter) for some extra fender clearance, but the Funky Monkey is
plan A2. And I could always try sudo cablestop I guess...

I need to correct myself: my Bomba did come w/ one of those in the link,
but I didn't use it. (I went w/ v-brakes.)
Could you just switch to the other style?
Thing is, it's only acting as a guide: the cable is pulling up on the
brakes, passing through the guide, but there shouldn't be

That's geek-TASTIC!

I think the pressure on the cable stop is significant. Have you ever
watched the way a stamped steel front cable hanger bends when you apply the
brake? I switched mine from steel to Al to eliminate the flex, which made
the front brake feel significantly firmer.
If I recall correctly the Simple
