Internal cable routing – rust prevention
Over the weekend I replaced the cables on my winter bike. Rust had formed in the lowest part of the cable guide (near the BB) meaning the gear cable was obviously stuck in the housing and it all had to come out the frame. As usual this resulted in 30mins of fiddling to get new housing and cable though.
Anyone have any ideas for stopping the water getting in? I was thinking of sealing the ends of the housing sleeve round the cable with some silicone rubber?

Used it on my winter bike little tricky to get in place but works fine.

Silicone sounds a good idea, why not seal the upper hole and leave the lower hole open with a good squirt of WD40/oil/grease/whatever once in a while?
