What are these called, please? Because I need two of them.
(In case it's not obvious, they help to hold the rear brake cable onto the frame.)

ferrule?
I wondered about "ferrule" but a Google image search doesn't show any.
These are described as "U buckles" or "U buttons", but that only produces a couple of hits, so I don't think it's the right term.
sleeve?
shim?
I think they're known as hose guides.
These maybe...?
Edit : Not quite the same as they have an extra flange on one end.
Try adding the search term wedge into the mix..... although my Google -Fu is struggling as well
I'm pretty sure I've got a few of these at home, drop me an email and I'll have a look later. If I have I'll chuck them in the post for you.

Trek also use them
or something like [url= http://jagwire.com/products/v/Stoppers_Loop_Guides ]these?[/url]
Thanks for all your responses! I'll try a couple of LBSs this afternoon, otherwise I shall take up Steve's kind offer.
Ideally, they'll have a flange only on one end, so they can slide into the housing.
(It's a 2006 Spesh FSRxc, not a Cannondale)
The Cannondale ones have a flange on both ends.
garyfisher and trek use them as well.
i got my new ones from a trek dealer quite easily.
Flange
I'd like some of those to stop the hoses rattling in the hose loops on my RoadRat
Yay, I got some! Big thanks to all who replied here.
First I tried a Cannondale/Trek dealer, who kindly gave me a couple of stick-on housings (with holes for a cable-tie). Then the mechanic at an independent and long-established LBS managed to find some proper ones, after rummaging in the workshop.
No-one could tell me the correct name though!
It's a Flugelbinder and I claim my five pounds.
