On my old Kona the brake hose guides had complimentary plastic ferrules that held the hose straight and tight.
New Kona, and I haven't got em, and the cables are prone to popping out of the guides.
Anyone know anyone who sells such?
I'm sure there was a thread about it ages ago and a chap on ebay sold em.
Cheers

ebay @£2 ish for 10
wrap a bit of black lecy tape around the hose where it fits into the guide, to make it a bit wider.
much easier and tidier looking imo, and cheaper too
Junkyard- do you have a link, cos I can't find em...

E-mail him he will do packs of stuff/special one off orders etc from the shop for you. Check shop probably other stuff there as well
Cheers Junkyard, but that's not what I'm looking for. Its not for cables, but for hydraulic hoses to hold them in the hose gudes securely.
I'm struggling to describe...
@tootallpaul - I know the ones I believe ....

How many do you need I will see if I can get them from Merlin tomorrow for you if they have em
therevokid - those are exactly what I have been looking for for a while but have been unsuccesful! Shame that shop doesnt have them in stock either
therevokid, not them either, but I was looking for some of them too.
I shall take a picture I think.
