Ritchey SwissCross Mini V?

Been scouring the internet trying to see how people have set up their Ritchey SwissCross with Mini V brakes. I've got a set of the TRP CX9s and have been mulling over purchasing a Ritchey SwissCross.

Anybody have any photos or suggestions? I'd rather not do a clamp on cable stop.

Thanks for the help!

Not sure what you mean - that bike has a rear cantilever?



There's clearly no issue running a mini-v in the front. But there is no housing run for the rear brake.

No Cable Stop but was hoping someone had a picture of a bit of creative cable adaptation

Like so;

There is a lil cable hoop in the back. fronts would be fine. I bet you could get the rear to work but i wouldn't base the frame purchase on a set of brakes that you already own.

+1. If you want this frame, get a Paul MiniMoto for the front and a rear canti, and you'll be golden.

agreed, a mini v on the rear is not nearly as essential as one on the front.
