...in the link above. I'm guessing here as I've only eyeballed the frame, but can they be used on a Scandal frame to close the gap where the cables thread through the frame mounts or are they for something completely different...?
When I say I'm guessing I mean that the cables will rattle in the mounts as they appear to be about 6-7mm or thereabouts.
Bump
Anyone know WTF I'm 'talking' about...?
😕
for 79p it might be worth a punt 😉
fwiw - my Orange Evo8 had those in the hose guides - some brakes have fatter hoses than others.
In the past I've just wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the hose where it goes through the frame.
But I'm a tight-arse.
I thought of electrical tape as the DIY fix and also a small blob of some black sealant I seem to remember is sitting around somewhere.
Just curious as to whether they are what I think they are.
Thanks...
Think those guides are to pad out a 4mm gear cable to fit into a 5mm brake cable 'guide'.
I'm suspecting your Scandal guides are oversize to allow the cables to move freely - if they are 6-7mm as you say probably won't stay in, but I'm just making the last bit up from conjecture, poor knowledge and a burning sense that I'm correct and no other opinion matters (so perfect for STW then... :D)
EDIT: The guides might be quite wide to allow brake hose with olive etc. still fitted to pass though.
