I need to correct myself: my Bomba did come w/ one of those in the link, but I didn't use it. (I went w/ v-brakes.)
Could you just switch to the other style? Thing is, it's only acting as a guide: the cable is pulling up on the brakes, passing through the guide, but there shouldn't be much pressure on the hanger, bridge, I don't think??.... I think I'd try it, if the other guide wouldn't work out....
