Hello all,

I've just about finished my build, but i'm short on two small clamps that hold the hydraulic cable to the underside of the top tube.

The frame is a kona kula supreme and there are three fixing points running along the underside of the top tube. The middle fixing allows a tie-wrap to be threaded through (which is done), but the left and right hand ones are open and it looks like something clips over the cable into the fixings. The fixings don't have any holes or lugs as such so i guess it's some sort of 3/4 barrell that goes over the cable and into the fixing groove.

I'll try and do piccies later.

cheers all.

    LBS would be the best bet.

    Grab some of these from CRC for £5.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    i have a funny feeling that those Hope ones will fall out as the inserts are only as wide as the hose. and the hose just pushes in.

    those hope ones are really for the conversion of the cable brake guides.

    Hi, looked at those and wasn't convinced myself, may have to wander over to James's and point at them.

    for little stuff like that it is the best bet.

    there are other plastic inserts that will also work but as they are normally supplied with the frames they seem to be left of web sites. but shops have them in the box of hose parts.
