Looks like a straddle or yoke wire substitute with a fixed length cable on one side and a rod on the other. Though I don't see the clamp mechanism I suppose you fix the brake wire to the lolly pop in the middle eh? Is the idea that the stiff side of the inverted V keeps the middle from falling onto a tire if the brake cable fails? Can you adjust the hight of these things like you can with a conventional straddle cable and holder?
