Help me adjust straddle cable
I have a question that I haven't found the answer to that you guys should easily be able to answer.
How long should the "working length" of a straddle cable be?
It seems to me that if the straddle cable is long, most of the brake cable pulling force is simply directed against the pivots. If the cable is too short, I feel like it will pull the brake pads in a better direction, but it will also obviously hit the tire. Does any of this make a difference?
