attaching brake hoses to the frame

dtlane

I have a TREK frame, all that is left to do is attach the hose for the rear caliper to the frame. I need a couple of the plastic taper do-da's to locate it in the frame guides, what are they called and where do I get them from ?
Thanks.

Pretty frame specific I'd imagine. Perhaps try a trek dealer and use zippies if poss until then.

do you mean these jobbies?

Or just the c-clip things?

My frame has bosses already in place for brake running, and those c-clips are exactly what I have been looking for. Not the OP but thanks anyways

Sadly that stuff tends to pop off easily so you need a good supply of them. If the frame guide things they snap onto have a hole through, I'd use zips every time. Otherwise there's not much option.

Really, I got a few of black ones with my cotic frame when I bought it, and they seemed to be fairly decent from my (very limited) experience of them.

Maybe mine are rubbish. The ones on my C456 pop off easy. Lost a couple already. Those shiny metal ones may stay on better but it's getting expensive for some tiny little clips.

it depends on the frame i use c clips if i can (i'm a tart) i found on my heckler frame and pace frame the c clips were fine but on my butcher frame they pop off so i used zipties..

i got mine from here but they were'nt this dear when i got mine

I bought a bag of C-Clips from Halfords, they're kept on the hangars in little light blue Halfords branded bags
