Bowdenex question

[Ian Williams]

In theory I agree with you Roger, in practice there is so little movement of the application lever that there would be no need for any alteration in alignment of the anchor point. In my opinion having a floating anchor with such a shallow thread resisting braking forces would lead to rapid wear of the tread and worse misalignment problems than you would solve. And yes I am fully aware that the late rod braked full girlling system used threaded pivots within the system, however these are quite long threads and even so exhibit high wear rates.

BTW I am one who is firmly in the pro Bowdenex camp having used them successfully for many years.
