Canti Front Brake Set-up

[campy man]

Any thoughts on using a headset cable hanger vs fork mount cable hanger?

Seems like the cable routing is tight with the headset mounted hanger + fork mounted hanger minimizes shudder.

I've always preferred fork mount for shudder reduction especially with steel forks. I think problem solvers makes a nice one with a barrel adjuster. Also I think cable routing is nicer with fork mounted because you don't need to do a big loop next to the stem if you don't have spacers between it in the hanger.

I agree with fork mount for gebsame reasons. And I use the Problem Solvers one mentioned. Works great!

I've had good luck with both. go fork if you have a hole there. if not, a stem or headset-mounted one isn't the end of the world. I've got the Paul version on two bikes, as the lowest spacer above the headset, and both are shudder-free. yes, the cable routing can be a little tight there, especially if you have very few spacers above it. but it will still work.

here's an example of one of mine where the routing is super tight but there's no shudder and braking power is great.
