Interesting!
I got new pads for my current cantis and fenders to avoid any issues with the straddle cable. If that doesn't feel right, I'll try these.

I mean... Yes. I totally agree with this. But rationality goes out the window when your precious cargo is involved. And if I can do something to reduce the risk, would be silly not to do it.

I think you're right! There's a "C" and what looks like either an "h" or "r" following on the top tube, so it's probably a Challenger. I think I'll just pass.
