Pretty sure you can buy cable guides that pop into the existing guide on the frame so you can run a full length cable without resorting to opening out the cable stop.

Any ideas where to look?

Or should I say Google this for me please? 🙂

Hope do them

Drop me an email tinsy with your addy on. I’ve got some at home I’m unlikely to use so you can have them.

SJS Cycles for any random bike components you will ever need.

be warned – they do look more gopping (and weigh more) than a simple small cable tie through the boss and round the cable 😀

I’d say they look much better than a cable tie.

Why not go for the Dremel option?
By far the tidiest option

your not using a small enough cable tie then.

the clamps are gopping over complicated problem solver for an issue that shouldnt exist 😀

Works just as well and are lighter and nicer looking.

Or just run Jagwire Ripcords.
