"split brakes
Here is a mod i am pleased with... Balanced rear brakes achieved by using a single cable passing through the cross shaft. You cant do this to the later cross shafts with concentric tubes."
I believe this would need a special long rear cable a bit like the front cable . This would be taken from the rear brake lever forward through the eye of the cross shaft lever, down to and through the cross tube, back up the opposite side through the eye and back to the opposite rear brake lever.
I don't know how the ends would be fixed on and I wouldn't think that any side to side adjustment could work with six right angle cable bends.
I may have it completely wrong though !
