Yes they are the ones I was referring to, which I think may help with the return issue but not so sure about the physical movement of the actuator (the reason the brake doesn't operate properly). I looked again at my reverse pull set up last night, and noted;
1. For approx. first 50% of lever pull I can see proportional movement at the actuator.
2. for the second approx. 50% movement of the hand lever I can see some distortion/ ringing of the cable and a resulting maybe 10% of movement of the actuator.
The cable is pretty short with a slight curve into the actuator but I can see I can remove a few inches of outer cable to make that routing straighter still, would that make so much difference?
My next thought is;
With a standard thickness front brake cable any cable distortion is likely to be mostly on the outer cable, as I have already witnessed, so with the thicker inner cable is this situation likely to be magnified ie thicker inner cable versus similar construction coiled outer cable....what do you think, has the thicker cable potentially made things worse?
Is anyone able to post up a picture of the cable shape/curve on a reverse pull set up that actually works so I can compare mine before cutting my new cable any further?
