Hello

I have a carbon frame and have just noticed that one of the plastic cable holders is loose. its not a big problem, just an annoying rattle and will pop out pretty soon i imagine.

read somewhere that this is pretty common and simple solution is to secure it by putting a drop of superglue on it.

just wondering if this would be ok? i mean would it cause any damage to the frame? i cant see for the life of me how it could, but dont wanna do anything to damage my pride and joy!

thanks for your help

:D

    I can't imagine that superglues would damage carbon fibre in any way, but you could always use an epoxy resin like Araldite, that's what CF is bonded with.

    although not quite like araldite.
