Currently I have a Barracuda MTB Frame that I am converting from center pull to V-brakes. The brake
cable guide is angle to deliver a center pull cable. Are there after market add on cable guides or
do these have to be brazed?? on. Is there a cable guide that can be added in some other way. I am
trying to deliver the cable in a more straight and direct position from the front lever and keep it
close to the frame. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Clamp on cable stops are available, viz.:

Unfortunately, these only exist for round tubing, and my recollection is that most Barracudas have
teardrop-shaped "aero" top tubes, so you're out of luck.
