• Building up a cool carbon Kinesis CX bike and hit a snag. Firstly the rivet holding one of the top tube cable guides came away, so i'll need to get that sorted, but secondly and more importanty i'm not quite sure on the cable routing here for the rear brake - it looks like the cable guide for the rear brake isn't shaped to be a cable stop (like the other two are for the front/rear mechs), so I am assuming the rear brake outer runs the whole length of the bike and should clip into place? The thing that im scratching m head about is it doesn't look like a cable retaining clip will fit here, or will it?!

    The rear brake routing is on the left hand side of the second pic!

  • The rear brake on my 2010 Kona Major Jake has similar ‘open’ stops. On the Kona, it’s for a full outer and there was -originally- some kind of grommet supplied that retains it in the stop (I don’t have these, long gone when I acquired the frame).

    I have temporarily solved the issue with a frame bag that also helps to retain the cable - because the Kona is used as a transporter, it’s not a problem.
