BB cable guide fitting
Got a cable guide for my winter build but not sure how to fit it. General googling seems to turn up results suggesting that I should just araldite it in place and then fit the cables immediately to hold it in place whilst the it bonds.
I have no screw with it although it does have a washer and there is a threaded hole in the BB shell approx 3mm wide which I assume can be used to fit the guide with.
Is gluing it in place and just using the hole as a means of drainage appropriate or should I screw it in place and drill another hole?

Screw it in place, glue won't hold for two minutes.
You don't need to drill a drainage hole. If you get water in your frame just remove the guide screw and let it drain. The guide will stay in place if you don't operate the cables.0 -
What frame is it?
I bought a 2nd hand frame, noticed the lack of cable guide, so I bought one...
Then I noticed that there were a couple of brazed on lug type cable stops, so the guide was not needed!...Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
