As you can see from the title, I've no idead what the thing I'm looking for is called, which makes it hard to find...
I want to swap the crazy long stem on my old Kona for something a bit shorter. The current, original stem has a cable router built into it - the replacement 1" quill stems I'm looking at do not.
Here's a pic;

Any ideas?
Canti-hanger I think. If you use a regular stem then you can get one that fits below the headset round the steerer....
you can get ones that go below the big nut on your headset. no idea what they are called either.

sort of, but probably too deep
Cheers guys - much appreciated. nick, they look about right. Just want to keep using the Kona as an on-road touring bike but the current laid-out-flat riding position is beginning to kill my back!
EDIT; it's a 1" stem so that 1, 1/8th Tektro one won't fit, sadly.
Just wanted to check before I buy a bit - is [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BN-Black-Front-Cable-Hanger-1-Fitting-/250659627682?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3a5c7a62a2 ]THIS[/url] going to work, going on the photo in the first post?
If so, does the outer just sit in the top of the adjuster screw? Sorry for being dense but this is a first for me...
sstu's one or similar will work way better - keep it separate from the hs.
Prob just about - close fit. Yeh the dropped one would be better from SS 🙂

Tectro one maybe suitable?

Cheers again to all for the replies. Actually went out to Halfords (hellfrauds etc, etc) earlier and bought a quill to Aheadset adaptor so am now worndering if that horrible looking Tektro thing might fit after all? There doesn't look to be an awful lot of space to squeeze it in...
Foxy - have you any idea where I could get a hold of one of those? Not being lazy - have spent far too much 'work time' googling already today 🙂
It's quite cute whatever it's called.
http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/14/bhidc/id-front-clamp-on-cable-hanger-fits-to-stem-or-steerer.html has a 1" option
Fuzzy, I thank you. I've a nasty feeling there won't be enough space on the Halfords quill adaptor for it but I'm sick of looking now and have ordered one 🙂
Sorry for the delay - can't find a UK based site but:
Tektro Brake Cable Housing Stop, Front 1272AF
Cheers foxy - I've ordered the el-cheapo one I linked to a few posts above, and also the one fuzzy linked to just in case.......
