Apologies if 'brake cable pipe' is not the right terminology. My wife asked me to lower her aerobar a further cm - meaning she's left with no spacers on her Felt B2 51''. Problem is that now the brake cable for the front brake - coming from left handlebar - doesn't fit the pipe that takes it to the caliper. What's the name of this tongue that fits into the fork and aligns the cable with the caliper - maybe I need a longer one? Any suggested to improve this - like maybe buying a caliper that's not centered - i.e. doesn't get the cable from the center? Recommendations?
Another interesting thing I noticed is that this tongue I just mentioned, doesn't sit tightly against the frame, there's about 1-2mm. Does anybody understand why? I am getting slightly out of my depth here but my local bike shop unfortunately doesn't touch tri bikes and the closest one is about an our away - the pros and cons of living in small villages *sigh*.
I have attached some photos with marking in an attempt to clarify what I just asked.
Thanks.
