What do you call the bit on a cantilever brake that connects the brake cable proper to the cable that runs between the brakes themselves?
I broke it tonight
Need a replacement for my Tricross and don't actually what the component is called, which kind of stymies any hope getting a replacement.
Help?

The bolt had siezed; so when I was trying to release it, I managed to twist the hanger so much it snappedChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

I'm in an empty stable. There are exits to the north, south and east. In the corner is a small table with a can of WD40 and some vaseline.Faster than a tent.......0 -
sorry kieran but it sounds like the bikes had it, a write-off, scrap, not worth the paper it's printed on etc. I'll take the whole thing off your hands for £20 delivered, who knows I may be able to salvage some parts off it.

Thanks Simon I've actually found an MTB bike shop in the local village where I work (!) and have fired off an email to see if they have anything in stock, so I'll let you know how I get on.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Simon - I got hold of an old style carrier from a back street bike shop chappie (£1 in the charity jar), fitted and working. Thanks for the very kind offer though!
I've even found the part number for the original bit as well now Tektro 1246A, but can I find anyone in the UK that stocks one? Nope.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)
