i've lost the downtube cable stop (the actual part originally welded on to the frame) for the front mech cable on an alloy frame making running a front mech awkward if not impossible.
the downtube is 40mm so a clamp-on cable stop is ruled out as I'm confident nobody ever made one that big.
my question is how feasible it would be to get a new cable stop / cable stop mount brazed onto the down tube..ive heard that aluminium is trickier to deal with than steel so finding someone to do it might be hard.
