Proper replacement straddle cable for Avid 15C?
 
I have a bike with Avid 15C cantis, and one of the straddle cables is quite frayed. These are the older style, with a separate yoke, and a tube (teflon?) that the cable runs through inside the yoke. Anyone know what the proper replacement straddle cable would be? I'm having no luck finding OEM.

same as any other cantilever brakes use..

2 kinds up and over a carrier https://www.universalcycles.com/imag...edium/6693.jpg



or a link wire https://www.universalcycles.com/imag...edium/9739.jpg

I find link wires limiting in adjustability, but the straddle cable needs something to catch the cable if the main brake cable breaks or comes loose; fenders, an existing reflector bracket or a loop of string will suffice.

Many thanks! It's the up and over. Thankfully, I had a bag of them; they just didn't look so much like the ones being replaced, but functionally the same I guess :-)
