Can anyone recommend me a light ish four bolt bash to run with a double?
A guy at the weekend was talking about hose guides that you can bolt into the gear cable end cap sockets that enable you to run continuous outers on gear cables. Any one heard of this?
Cheers

Race Face Atlas light weight bash guard. Strong but light and comes in a bunch of colours.
As for the cable guides, you're better off with zip ties I suspect.

You can drill out the stopped end of your existing cable guides so that you can run full length outer in the original position.
Big ring : very light.
Continous cable run: not worth it
Ive got a cheapo no name ebay bash ring that is very thin and light. Especially compared to an E:13.

And for the continuous outer I used a combination of a drill and a dremmel it worked fine..
Continous cable run: not worth it
That's a matter of opinion. No ingress of dirt or water, less friction points mean better shifting for longer. Other than [i]possibly[/i] needing to modify the frame, there really is no downside to single length outers.
If you don't want to drill/Dremel the frame, there are numerous options for securing cables/hoses. M:Part do these...

Or some plastic tube and a zip tie can be used to make these...

I like the work on the fork, Three_fish!!

I stripped down my 456 after 18 months use including two very muddy winters, and the cables were running as smoothly as the day they went on. The ones I bought to replace them are still in the spares box.
