<right hand cable is only just above the brake>

By raising the guide pulley an inch (the diameter could be reduced too) 
and keeping it close to the wall (not putting washers under the pulleys) 
I have a free run high enough to stay well above the brake.  I have also 
not gone for the utmost retraction, based on the the possibility that 
having the wheel a little lower is offset by the better closure of the 
aperture, with flat of the arm level with the underside. Could also 
extend it sideways to close up the remaining space. I appear to have more 
space on the left (though the wheel seems central) so I am quite 
attracted to turning it all over and through 120 deg. But this can all be 
done later.

Did you really have the puncture before the brake destroyed the tyre,
or did the brake caliper cause it ?- would seem close enough to do it if 
the tyre was a bit soft, or a cross wind landing ?
