I just see a lot of ads and a login/password box. What's your password?

Try this: http://velominator.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

I'll try Flickr next. I only created it to post the phto.

I've since removed the right brake lever.

You have to log in to see them and it'll be a cold day in hell when I'm
signed up for myspace. Get flickr, bro.

Fine. How's this?

when I squeezed hard on the brake levers,
the front cable pops out of its catch under the brake lever. Must be
the angle.

Assuming you have installed properly, it is the levers' fault, or the
cables', or of both that don't match..

Thanks for the photo, Sergio. I had it wrong. I had the tips of the
levers literally pointing forward. I interpreted Adres'...
"If you place them with the lever
pointing back and down, the cable has to be bent in a weird way to be
under the bar tape. It reduces braking effectiveness. If, on the other
hand, you place the levers pointing facing [forward], then, the cable
runs
straight back on the bars."
I supplied the "forward," since it seemed like a word is missing, and
installed the brakes upside down, since it seemed like the only way a
triathlete could be hurt with them, and the only way the cable could
run straight back to the bars. Seems from the photo you sent that you
have the exact same brake levers I have, and that they're really just
installed "normally."

With 'normal' road levers, it's possible to mount the cable end in a
ferrule on the top and run the casing (with another ferrule seated in
the lever carrier) out the bottom. Give a good hard pull on the lever
before riding.

'cable popping out':
Many road levers have a directional cable carrier inside the lever
blade. Ensure you aren't upside down there! A kinked or damaged brake
wire/ head should absolutely be replaced ($1).

It only shows them to people who have a myspace account and sign in.
