I’ve had the sleeves off in the past to examine and the tube is the correct size just not sure why it keeps moving forward. May give epoxy a go but more likely I’ll just try and pull the tube out completely.
Thanks for input btw
RussyJ20-
No worries, just had a thought - is the brake cable outer just a fraction too short and therefore pulling slightly more on that metal tube? Or is it snagged somewhere and nipping the cable outer somewhere along it’s length? Anyway, sure it’ll be fine to remove it… 🤷♂️👍🏻
I’d go for the dab of glue and possibly a bit of lube on the cable outer running through the metal tube first before pulling it out…

Hmm… that tube runs the entire way through the top tube, it’s the correct length for the size of the bike… if it were me I’d take off the plastic covers and ensure they metal tube is equally exposed at both ends then dab a blob of epoxy between metal and carbon to secure it, then re-glue the sleeves… no cutting necessary…
I think that the hole in the top tube is more of a slot/lozenge shape anyway… doubt cutting the metal tube will be an issue either
