HI Ed,
I've had the same prob with my mtb over the last month or so two good options:
1. As you and qspc mentioned. You can run a cable housing all the way from brake lever to the Vbrake
in the back, a couple of zip ties will hold it to the top tube. This works almost perfect, but
you get a tad bit of scratching to your top tube whre grit wears under the zip ties, but at least
you dont have to worry about mud or water getting into your cable through the stops -which is
cool. Just try to use as little housing as poss to reduce more places for the cable to stretch
and flex on its journey...
2. You can buy some bolt on cable stops, one for each end of the top tube from most lbs. Just ask
them to order the correct diameter Tektro cable stop (available from quality), there are 3 to
choose from. Or you could order em yourself from Loose Screws thethirdhand.comthethirdhand.comOpen ↗
look under brakes / cables section....
---good luck

Quoted message said:I'd like to put a V-Brake on my Cannondale hybrid but it just has cable housing guides on the
top tube. Will a rear V-Brake work OK with cable housing run all the way from the brake lever to
the noodle?
Yes, especially if you use good quality lined brake housing.
