I have a frame that uses internal routing.
I have decided to try routing the cables externally using frame mounts and p clips less for aesthetics more for kinder cable/house routing.
The "thing" is that this will leave 5(?) holes needing plugging 🙄
The manufacturer does stock spare bungs 😐 and have suggested I leave the open.
That's all fine and dandy but I would like to plug them.
Any suggestions?
Frame is a Giant BTW.
I would use the brake and gear cables.
Electrical tape? a sticker, silicone sealant.
Orange sell plugs but no guarantee they'll fit. If they're round holes on flattish surfaces there's likely to be household alternatives, a wee ebay search will probably find something
Think I'd be tempted to use a tidily cut bit of tape tbh. But not a sticker because you might mistake it for a crack.
Silicone sealant if it's a white frame maybe?
Sugru
Could fill the holes with molten lead?
Why go external???
Which frame is it as quite a few have internal routing now id get the correct plugs myself
