Once you think you've got everything installed, you should watch it as you 
depress the lever. The dogleg should pivot in the lever allowing the dogleg and 
cable to remain straight thru the full travel of the pedal. If the dogleg hangs 
up at some point and stops pivoting, then the cable will have to flex at the 
end of the dogleg. This will eventually break it.

If there's any interference, you should remove the dogleg and smooth out 
whatever is causing the problem.

All my cables are 30+ years old.
