Hmm, how do most friction shifters actually work? Does the clamp have a bolt part, with a nut holding it all together, or does a bolt thread through all the parts into the clamp? Looks like most have the former, so the DMR clamp wouldnt work.

Can I ask why? If you have no cable guides can you not just use clamp on cable stops/zip ties with full length outer?

They were a thing of beauty, had them with a Mavic SSC rear mech and Campag super Record front - lovely

I don't like having loads of cables, they get in the way when X-upping, crashing on jumps etc.

I want to be able to get up vaguely steep hills, but also ride vaguely quickly when commuting.
