Evening all

Can anyone recommend alternatives to the M Parts cable guides ? looking for guides that will take two cables ideally, running beside each other along the side of the top tube

have looked online, but only M Parts or braze ons come up...

Cheers

    No help to you but a search turned these up - http://www.parkersofbolton.co.uk/p-211- ... guide.aspx Who could possibly think that's a good idea?!

    Oh dear! :eek:

    Anyway - zip ties. Dirt cheap. Couple of quid for hundreds of them.

    Ideally you'll have cable guide points already on the frame that you can hook the ties through (better than using the cable clip things they often provide), otherwise they have to wrap around the tube. The M Part is just a fancy expensive version of the latter but functionally not much different to just using zips all the way round with cable through the zip.

    well yeah, but im spending some £££ on getting the frame resprayed, so guides would be preferable

    am re-routing the cabling down the top tube as opposed to the down tube, so there are no lugs
