If you look at the old set the slot exit is at a different angle.teamdarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730985048207207697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-74672353727730889712015-09-23T15:08:39.046-04:002015-09-23T15:08:39.046-04:00It's simply a matter of how the slots on the c...It's simply a matter of how the slots on the cable receivers are oriented. I'd guess that when the new 610s were designed the designer was thinking they'd be used on high-end rando and touring bikes, not mixtes.<br /><br />ChrisVeloOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814029344407654254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-31573953845627153112015-09-23T15:01:21.725-04:002015-09-23T15:01:21.725-04:00I'm confused.

If this is a problem with Dia-Compe 610 center pulls on today's mixte frames, why wasn't it a problem with Weinmann/Dia-Compe center pulls 30 or 40 years ago on mixtes of that era? I am cleaning up a 1980s Motobecane mixte right now which has Weinmann center pulls. Has the exit point for the straddle cable changed enough to cause this problem? It would be nice if you could compare and contrast the current setup you are warning about with common setups from the 70s/80s.Skip Montanarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811773789254959145noreply@blogger.com
