deep drop front cantilever cable guide
I've changed my tandem to use sti, so it now has aero routed brake cables, it has got cantilevers and the cable guide on the headset is quite close to the handlebars so the cable is very sharply curved, and i have to have the bars quite high. Does anyone know where to get (or have that they don't need) a deep drop cable guide with an adjustment barrel, that will fit on a quill stem?
There also exists an upward hanger that mounts off the fork crown. Not sure who makes or sells them though.
I first saw these on the previous generation of Center Parcs bikes (before they went V-brake) and this year's Ridgeback Panorama touring bike, from Madison Cycles, also has one.

Brake hanger
thirdcrank is partly right.
What about getting the MFAC one and fitting an adjuster yourself? I would try using a cable adjuster from a cheap Shimano mech. Drill hole, tap and fit adjuster.

specialist wrote:I saw the upward hanger on sheldon brown, but the $100 dollars to order from the states seems a bit steep. Not quite convinced about the design too, surely it is asking for the nut to loosing on the fork crown, and the hanger to rotate?
Yes, the securing bolt does have to be tight or else the "uphanger" rotates, but it's a 6mm bolt and if fully torqued up that is not a problem.
One UK source may be Center Parcs' metal recycling bins, as the cantilever brake generation of children's bikes, that had this hanger (adult models had the usual hanger on the headset) are now being retired.

This is the Fisheroutdoor brake spares page. A couple of stem mounted types but no obvious sign of anything else.
