[DML] Re: Speedo Cable Support

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zip-tie it to or near the brake line to take the stress off the angle 
drive. Replacing that metal bracket (if you had the one that looks 
like coat-hangar wire) is a pain because you have to open the brake 
line.

The pull-back on the sheath is pretty normal, just keep it well-
greased so it doesn't freeze up and eat the angle drive.
