Subject: In-line brake QR (?)
|
Does anyone know of a decent after-market brake QR? The brake I'm
using had one on the lever, but I'm using a different lever. The bike
has no existing brake hardware, so I'm going from scratch with 990-
style U-brakes. I'd think that you could put one in-line someplace.
It would be logical to build it into the housing anchor above the
straddle. I just don't want to spend hours reinventing the wheel if
reasonable solutions already exist.

Typically, centerpulls release their straddle cable in lieu of a QR.
Weinmann or Dia-Compe (likely both, thanks to their crosss-licensing
deals) made front & rear hangers with integrated QRs, which came in
handy for their centerpulls with dual-headed straddle cables. Those
may be hard to find, though. Loose Screws doesn't have them anymore,
so you're probably left with Ebay.

Such is life!
I like 'em on the lever the best because I'm always forgetting to
reset the darn things!
