It's the Shimano SM-CB90 . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Quick-release front cable-hanger from Velo Orange. I used one of these for a while. It *might* be a bit more flexy than the typical aluminum hangers, but not terribly so based on my observation. http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/brakes/parts/dia-compe-cable-stop-with-quick-release.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

All those in-line adjusters cost more than the Ritchey quick disconnect do-dads; if a person were inclined to go through the rigging necessary to install them I'll bet the actual cost would be more. What I do on my Rambouillet is set up the cable on those same Shimano calipers with the barrel adjusters backed out 75% of their adjustment range so if I have to fix a flat I can screw in the barrel adjuster when I am putting the repaired, pumped-up tire to clear the pads then return them to the original adjustment. I has been just enough to keep me off the brake shopping slope and since I have never had to use much of the available range of adjustment that screw has, it keeps things simple.

Like anything, it depends on which ones you choose Andy. The Ritchey dodads are sold in singles, so we're talking over $20 a pair, but they are not even relevant to this discussion! Inline adjusters are sold in pairs, usually about $8-10.

Keep your Shimano brakes, but compromise with levers like these: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/brakes/levers/tektro-aero-brake-levers-rl340-silver.html I think there is also a Campy model.

[RBW] Re: In-line cable housing quick release helpers?
If you can tolerate non-Shimano brake levers (just mask or steel wool-off the branding!), any brake levers with the quick-release at the levers (ala Campagnolo Ergopowers) can double-up the brake opening to allow fatter tires on narrower rims to pass through without deflating. My Record Ergopowers operating Shimano BR-R650 brakes have enough space to let out Challenge PRs on Aerohead rims when both QRs are engaged.

[RBW] Re: In-line cable housing quick release helpers?
Thanks for all the responses. I like Garth's idea best: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEAMSSX-New-JAGWIRE-inline-adjuster-5mm-brake-cable-BSA058-Black-/300907763957 For foolish, inefficient, and sentimental reasons I'd like to keep my current generic Shimano brake levers (unless I switch to period Dura Ace ones) as well as the Shimano calipers -- I want as much as possible an all-Shimano build (one day will replace the TA with a 7400 crank, too). So far: DA, or at least Shimano: hs brakesets drivetrain except for the crank and bb hubs (newerish Ultegra rear and old XT front) pedals One day: Cranks bb seatpost Actually, if the Stan's continues to live up to my hopes, the brake pad clearance issue will be largely a non-issue. I took the rear wheel off t'other day because I wanted to get at the rack strut with a hacksaw without removing the rack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I don't know of any such devices, but those inline cable adjusters would work just . You'd have to rotate the adjuster of course to widen , but this is not something you're going to be doing alot of... or are you ? !! like these: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-In-Line-Cable-Adjuster-Kit/dp/B002PTSBMS/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goodsie=UTF8qid=1370729389sr=1-1keywords=inline+cable+adjusters http://www.amazon.com/Jagwire-Inline-Bicycle-Cable-Adjusters/dp/B004REJ9O8/ref=pd_sim_sg_4 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
