Cantilever Cable Stop (Rear) - DIY?

[Trevz]

I managed to find some cheap cantilever brakes for project I'm busy with. (Flat Bar Hybrid to Drop bars for some off road/gravel touring)

Had v-brakes on originally, been a struggle to find canti's, but this is why i like supporting small LBS's. They tend to have some of the old technology unlinke the big cycle stores. ???? They nothing fancy like shimano/Avid/Tektro but will do for now.

The project can now commence. I managed to also get the front cable stop.

I now need a rear stop, similar to this that hangs from the seatpost clamp. Is there a way to make one at home? what solutions exist?

It’s fairly easy to do a DIY version. Get a bit of flat steel section and drill 2 holes, one at either end. One hole sized for the seat post bolt and the other one sized for a brake barrel adjuster bolt ( the type used on cheaper caliper brakes. A bit of fiddling with washers and shaping the section ends and you are done. Might not look the best but it will work.
