Before I design and print my own does anyone know of any good brake hose to cable clamps? I want to clip the brake hose and dropper cable together in a few places.
I've done amalgamating tape but it was a bit clumsy and electrical tape is ok but a bit sticky. So I'd like something that's nicely made and solid so it won't slide up and down.
I'm sure I saw something on a pro build recently but no idea whose it was.
Anything out there?

Ever considered heat shrink for a nice neat finish?
These Canyon ones look perfect and get typically understated review from the Germans but I don't want to have to pay £10 postage on a £4 part.

Just Google bicycle brake and gear cable clips will present you with multiple options includiing Jagwire and various others
I use spiral cable tidy for this.
Secures the cable/hose together pretty well, is easy to fit and cheap.
I use spiral wrap or just a humble zip tie is fine.
I just bought a jag wire gear cable and it came with a neat little clip that does what you want. What I’m after is a neater way to cable tie gear and brake cable to the cable guides on my stooge. The cable tie collar ends up protruding a bit too much which is twisting my melons a bit. Any ideas?
I use the Aliexpress version of those Canyon clips. Do a good job

These are good; https://76projects.com/products/cable-bobbins
Deviate and Bird also sell the same with their logos.
FWIW just remembered that one bike has the 76Projects ones. Sadly the Aliexpress clips work better - no messing around with little self-tapping screws

Why didn't I think of that!? 🤣
Most of the results are cable to frame or the rotatey type which I have on the RHS separating front brake and gear cables but I want to bind the dropper and rear brake together. I don't like the look of the Jagwire - i think they'll just rotate around each other.
Thanks for the help guys I may try the aliexpress ones.
Those cable bobbins look good.
I used cable ties and amalgamting tape last time. The brake hose slowly wore through the outer of the gear cable until one day, many miles from the car ,the metal winding inside the gear cable made a bid for freedom, opened up like a broken slinky and left me with no cable tension.
It was then I found out that the limit screws on a 12sp XT mech aren't really long enough to lock you into a sensible gear. It was hard work getting back to the car.
Still, I guess it was better that way round than the gear cable wearing through the brake hose... at least there was that thought to cheer me up.
