Problem Solvers 50mm Wide Cable Hangers

Avoid this hanger

It looks really good in concept, but this hanger totally did not work for me.

The bolt does not clamp down far enough to get a good grip on a regular road brake cable. Also, they route the cables in the same plane, so that it's a big pain to set up. There must be some reason that hangers are designed this way, but it baffles me.

Pros: Shape, weight

Cons: Functionality

Would Buy Again: No
Would Recommend: No

Lower yoke angle

This is a great tool to widen your yoke angle while maintaining enough space for wide fenders and tires. This hanger really seemed to improve the stopping power of my low profile canti-lever brakes. :) I am nervous thought that the hex bolt is going to slip on gripping the brake cable although its held great for a couple months now, even in the heavy Portland, Oregon rain.

Pros: Great for wide tires and fender. Seems to improve braking power of low profile Tektro Ornyx brakes.

Cons: No adjustability for centering the brakes.

Would Buy Again: Yes
