Question for those experienced with setting up cable hangers from threaded steerers: how important is it for the steerer to have a keyway (or, for older French cycle aficionados, a flat spot at the back of the steerer) to keep the hanger properly aligned?
I'm assembling a bike with an un-keywayed steerer and a NOS Mafac cable hanger. Choices are: have a keyway cut into the steerer and modify the hanger to have a key; have a flat ground on the steerer and leave the hanger as-is; or grind out the hanger so it's round all the way 'round. Or, go outside the box and use a different hanger, of course... Recommendations? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
