Peugeot Mixte _ rear brake cable routing

            Now THIS is what I call a beautiful brake cable line.  With the cable adjuster raised above the existing bridge, the cable FINALLY runs perfectly straight to the straddle wire of this Weinmann center-pull rear brake caliper.  The original simple horizontal bore through the bridge was a cheap way to set up a cable stop, but the cable had to turn upward and this inevitably caused friction where the cable exited the adjuster.  The cable now floats absolutely smooth and also allows the straddle wire to pull up in a straight line, as originally intended for these calipers.

Notice how low the caliper sits between the twin stays.  Peugeot welded the steel mounting plate to the bottom of the stays and also creased the tubes enough to allow the Brake Arm Bridge (the pivot bolt yoke) and springs to rest between the stays.  They got this feature "right" for a very clean look and fit... and at very low cost.
