Standard shimano shifter cable and brake hose. Cable clamps I think are off a BMC.

Thanks. Not much chance of me finding those where I am I don't think. Do you happen to have a close up of them? I may try get something similar 3D printed. It looks like they are two parts, a bottom cradle and the top clamp.

 

Yip - off a BMC. I found they lifted the cable away from the frame quite nicely.

That's what I liked about them.

Kalbo will need to take a pic for you. The bike is his now. When I got it PYGA were struggling with the cable routing on the 110 (something they still battle with). It wasn't too much of an issue at the time as the normal frames were raw. Mine was painted and I didn't like the cables to close to the frame. So, yes, it's basically a cradle that lifts the cable(s) 2-3mm and then a clamp holding the cable in place.

Here you go. Still get a bit of rub. Just need to check the cable every now and again to make sure it's tight and off the frame.

Some PYGA radness at last weekend's ISUZU MTB Fest on the Durbanville poppies.

A few neat pics of Mark's long travel Enduro prototype 165/180 max front travel ;)

As well as his Stage MX with a Cane Creek Angled Headset fitted as he toys around with head angles.

Thanks. That's useful.

Since I posted about experiencing brake jacking for the initial couple of rides on my Pascoe its been bugging me because I haven't had it or even thought about it since those first outings. I don't get much chance to ride these days but in the last few rides I've done, I have ridden hard and attacked bumpy braking zones to see if the rear becomes skittish, stiffens up or misbehaves in any way. All I get now is planted, active traction under all braking situations.

 

I can't explain why it only happened for a couple of rides but whatever it was I'm glad it went away. I challenge anyone to come to our demo day on Saturday morning and try and induce brake jack on a Pyga.
