Looking at cable clips like these-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sram-MTB-Housing-Hydraulic-Rotating/dp/B00AFPHGNO/ref=pd_cp_200_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4NFFVV87S2C36J2MDQ1Z

If anyone uses these or similar - can you push the cable into the clip through the open side or do I need to undo the cable and thread them on? I assume the former?
Cheers.

Great. Hoping to use them to attach an external dropper post cable to a gear cable and be able to remove it easily.

Those do look pricy! I guess the articulation is a trick feature though. Obv, cable ties would do the trick but granted not everyone wants to look at cableties...

Get these on eBay a hell of a lot cheaper than that and more of them if I remember

ah, but are the ebay versions "Perfect for quieting the cross-line chatter at the cockpit junction"

or do they just stop cables being noisy?

or buy a roll of Velcro and wrap about 40mm around your cables.

Got the same with a Reverb, found that most of them snapped quickly and ended up sliding up and down my cables for...well they are still there now

I just use small thin cable ties - cheaper and not prone to breaking.
