I just got one for my bike. (well, I shouldn't say "just", I got it about a year ago)
Surly made 'em for the folks who had hangers that put too much of a kink in the brake cable.
Here it is: http://surlybikes.com/parts/cable_hanger/
It does make the brake a lot smoother, and it seems to be kinder to the cable housing.Last edited by KnottedYet; 12-27-2009 at 06:44 PM.
