Tektro Cable Stop Hanger; What is the other piece?

[Ray]

I ordered two of these Cable Stop Hangers from Harris Cyclery. The
package came without any paper work, save for a basic receipt. Each
plastic bag contained the hanger as shown on the Harris site, but also
another doo-dad that I'm don't know what it might be for. Can any of
you who have used these hangers look at the photos and advise me?
Thnaks much.

Optional reflector bracket. Just set it aside.

OK! Thanks, William.

I would say it's a REAR seatpost cable hanger such as this -

but it looks pretty fat.

No, Benedict, it's not a rear hanger. It only has one tapped end, and no cable slot. William wa correct, I feel.  It's to mount a reflector.  It's nicely machined, however, and could be used to hack something.  I won't toss it. You never know…

Ray,

When you get this installed, can you post pictures, i'm thinking about
switching from a headset mounted hanger to a fork crown one but i'm
worried about clearance at the crown due to all the other things i
have mounted there.

will do, but that won't be for a while. My arm's still in a sling. There is another member here who has just such a oict. Perhaps he'll re-post.

You mean the front end of my Bombadil? Indeed, it has one:

The Nitto Mini rack in this case is the bolt.

ah. I wondering if these hangers were compatible with front racks. Good to know.

[Tom Harrop]

Hey Bill,

Sorry to drag up a post from four years ago. I was thinking about trying out a fork crown canti-hanger + mini front rack setup and searching the archives brought up your post with a link to a pic of your Bombadil. Nice to see you got it to work, and it doesn't look like it produced an extreme tilt on your mini rack, but I have some questions!

I guess you weren't that worried about the engagement of the nylock nut on the rack strut, but I'm wondering if a sheldon nut would help here? Or would a sheldon nut bottom out on the rack strut before securing it against the fork crown...? Also, did you have enough room between the hanger and the cable carrier to get a nice squeeze on the brakes?

Cheers,

Tom

[Bill Lindsay]

Tom

No, this is not a good application for a Sheldon nut. The threaded post on the rack is too long. You'd need to cut it down and possibly would need to thread it further as well

Yes, I had enough room to set up the brakes to my liking. Let me know if you need any help.

[Tom Harrop]

Nice, thanks for the reply. I think I'll try it out, I'm only in the planning stage but I'll post again if I have difficulties!
