Problem Solvers Cross Clamp with Cable Pulley

Saved me from getting another derailleur!

This thing is great. A very limited market for them so I was happy to find it at Universal Cycles. Easily allows use of bottom-pull front derailleurs when the cable is top-mount. I set it once, and forgot about it. Nice and easy.

Pros: Easy to use, works great

Cons: Only silver

Also works for internal hub cables

I used this for a different purpose: I have a SS frame without cable stops but I wanted to run a 3-speed hub. To accomplish this, I used this product at the base of my seatpost. This results in very clean routing with minimal friction. If you're in the same situation, give it a try!

Pros: Versatile!

Top pull problem solved

This is the answer if you have a top-pull cable setup and are using a typical bottom pull (road) front derailluer. Well made, with a bronze bushing on the "axle".

Pros: Easy solution, inexpensive, easy to install on the seat tube.

Cons: none

Would Buy Again: Yes
Would Recommend: Yes

Thumbs up

When you need it, you need it. Used to convert a top pull front changer set up to bottom pull. Build quality is better than photo. You will not be embarrased to have it on your bike.

Pros: Allows you a greater selection of front changers.

Cons: Makes you feel like gadget man.
