C clip cable guides

dave1986

Hi all,

I'm looking for a method for routing a reberb cable along my bike frame. I've ordered some 'M Part stick on cable guides' but wondering if there's a neater way of doing it??

I've seen a number of different 'C clips' advertised for routing cables, but not sure how they attach to your frame? Do you need a special type of frame bracket or frame insert to fit them to? (see below)
Also, can you buy a cable guide which screws onto the bottle holder inserts?

Cheers,
Dave

They have braze ons on the frame that the clip into.

You'll need these braze ons:

(here used with a zip tie)

If you want to buy some, get in touch as i've got a packet of them (think around 12 clips, possibly more than that). I found that the clips didnt secure my cables tight enough (on a Santa Cruz frame). Friends with different frames run them with no issue though

Have the M-parts on my bike, from memory (away right now) you need to use a cable tie.
