You can view my cable on Webshots.com. Search for "Optima Baron X-low" for
photos. Photo _MG_2619 shows my cable, just go for full size then click on the
picture when the "+ magnifying glass" cursor is displayed to get the most
detail. Scroll to the boom and you will see it. It is serving double duty,
keeping the headlight wire away from the crank while maintaining a radius large
and smooth enough to allow low effort to derail the chain. YMMV

cheers,

Edd
