| Sep 28, 2020 at 7:53 | comment | added | Chris H | @MaplePanda that gives me an idea. I wonder if it would still work as a cable stop with the brass adjuster removed to gain nearly 1cmfor the cable to curve. I've already locked off the right hand (RD) one just by winding it in as far as it will go with pliers so I wouldn't need to epoxy anyway. And I might even have an inline adjuster | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 20:06 | comment | added | MaplePanda | Hmmm. What about adding an inline cable adjuster for the FD instead? You could then permanently lock the existing barrel adjusters (epoxy? Red threadlocker?) and use those as the cable stops. | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 18:39 | comment | added | Chris H | @Criggie in principle yes, but only upwards (i.e. not on the fork leg, too much shadow from the wheel) and my bars are rather crowded. The reason that other light was on the bars to try out is that I want to fit it to the top of the aero bars for (mainly) off-road use, but it needs testing first | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 18:36 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Would you consider relocating the dynamo light? Perhaps one on either side of the fork, combined with a battery light higher up ? | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 18:36 | comment | added | Chris H | @WeiwenNg I could probably hang this bag from the aero bars (as they appear to have become permanent). It's very versaitle. I wonder about the angle on the cables at the stops, but I can have a look in daylight (also I did 400km yesterday so am only taking the stairs when I have to, i.e. for food). That's only a 7 litre bag, but with that, my saddlebag and a small frame bag I can camp in comfort | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 18:05 | comment | added | Weiwen Ng | While my handlebar bag is nowhere as large as yours, it seems not to affect braking and shifting when I mount it in front my my cables. This is even though the bag impinges on the cables a bit. That said, my cable runs are shorter than yours, and my cable stops are further from the head tube. Seeing that you have aero bars, I do know that some bar bags (e.g. Apidura, Restrap) are designed to mount from the aero bars. This may help others in this situation; I realize you didn’t state a desire to consider a new bag. | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 17:51 | comment | added | Chris H | @MaplePanda I need something from the front derailleur, and I need a cable stop for each. Are you thinking of clamp-on cable stops a bit further down the downtube? | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 17:18 | comment | added | MaplePanda | Could you entirely remove the down tube barrel adjusters? You said you have one on the derailleur already, so there’s not really a purpose for that second one. | |
