My frame obviously isn't modern enough...2009 Ti 456

I would like to fit an uppy downy seatpost but have no spare cable guides on the frame. OK I could remove the back brake but I sort of like it.

Any suggestions other than the stick on / cable tie variety like below?

Zip tie to one of the existing cables?

Good question. I am in the same boat. Might super glue some of those things in your pic to the bike...

Where did you find them?

Ta in advance

I have my GD's cable and rear brake hose sharing the same cable guides along the top tube, zip tied on.

Yep, same for me, zipped tied the Joplin remote the rear mech cable along the down tube and under the BB. Easy for me though as I've got full length outers on the gear cable.

Hi, which post are you going for? The RS reverb comes with clips (you could use cable ties) that fix the hose to one of your existing cables/hoses.

Just found out that the shop whose site suggested they have the new Giant post in stock won't get them for 5 weeks...

Seems worth the wait. And gives me some time to sort the routing

My friend got some of the sticky on cable guides from Hibike when getting a reverb and they were silver and came with those plastic snap in clips you get with your frames. I think they were jagwire.
